Through music, many young children are able to implement more diverse customs to society. Music is a means of enculturation and socialization helping the youngsters of the culture to integrate into their societies. Similarly, children singing songs from foreign countries can also be informed of unfamiliar cultures and increase their knowledge and understanding of those cultures. It is important that children would be able to learn about other cultures to become conventional through the exposure of different cultural songs. With the fulfillment of children becoming more accustomed to different cultures, many would be able to contribute different outlooks within society. As more schools implementing diversity, cultural music has become more apparent.

Music teachers can encourage children to explore the musical traditions of their own cultural heritage as well as those of other countries.

Though the expression of music we are able to cope with the different and various aspects that plague our lives.
