Better Brain Processing Through Music

Learning to sing or play a musical instrument can help disadvantaged children improve their reading skills, new research suggests.

After a year of music lessons, the reading scores of nine and 10-year-olds held steady compared to a dip seen in those who were not taught any music.

Another group of musically-trained children were found to be better at processing sounds and language.

The research is being presented to the American Psychological Association. MORE HERE & HERE
