Language and music share key features such as melody and rhythm and do also develop simultaneously in the childhood. The idea that music and language learning could benefit from each other has been around for a long time and some of the research and studies on the effects of music on language learning and language education are presented in this essay. A survey on the subject was made for modern languages teachers in Sweden to answer, asking about their opinions and experiences of music in the modern languages classroom. It was clear from the results that almost all participants were positive to the use of music in the language education and had experienced positive learning outcomes among students from the use of music. According to the teachers, modern language learning could above all benefit from the motivational properties of music and music can be a help by vocabulary acquisition.
