ABSTRACT The study sought to assess how music training amends the course of adolescent auditory development. Developing a strategy to bring music training to children may as well result in improved brain-behavior and auditory health. The auditory system develops the capacity to receive, interpret, and respond to complex language, as well as the capacity to hear, discern, and respond to music. Hence, music is seen as a therapeutic tool to alter mood and moderate emotion for both infant, adolescent even in adults. It as well helps in auditory processing. Involvement in musical training promotes neural plasticity and helps in the development of auditory skill. Therefore, one of the recommendations of the study was that federal/state governments should allocate funds and help in deploying musical instruments to schools for effective music training of students.
