Abstract
This research analyses the benefits of Music in improving the learning of a foreign language. A theoretical review was carried out about the importance of musical training in the learning of other languages and the importance of starting it in the earliest possible way. Subsequently, a study was conducted with conservatory students about their perception of whether studying music helps them learn languages. A questionnaire of seventeen items was applied. After the analysis of the results, we can conclude that there are many positive aspects that music contributes to the learning of a second language, since it helps to improve auditory discrimination, to improve pronunciation and to automate the process of language acquisition, even though not all students are aware of this.
