A student must learn to read music notation, develop eye-hand-mind coordination, develop keen listening skills, develop team skills for playing in an ensemble, and develop the discipline to practice in music education. This research aims to connect the current research on music education with the lack of exploration and knowledge to create a theme to demonstrate the correlation between music and students' academic success. The methodology used for this study is a quantitative historical study format directed to discover research-backed evidence based on this idea. Through this methodology, student's success and motivation trend through matriculation from their first year to high school and college has been be noted. The study examined the association between music involvement and academic achievement in childhood and adulthood using the measure of music participation. Education officials have implied that arts subjects are an extracurricular activity, shifting its importance. The general purpose is to explore the relationship between music education and students' intellectual and emotional development to begin the argument to prove the importance of music education. The study's findings support the effectiveness of music education in improving the students' mental, social, and academic development through the analysis of retrospective data and the use of quantitative methods of the research. The inference from the findings is that music education results in emotional stability and improve thinking skills, leading to improved performance.
