isn't there some kind of news story on a regular basis relating music lessons with better grades, higher intelligence, better math skills etc? hmmmmm i wonder - does taking music lessons relates to how fat kids are? maybe being in school band or taking music lessons also correlates to diet and fitness. there is one someone can study next . . .
Learning music enhances some parts of critical thinking in my opinion, which may lead to better problem solving, or fluidity of thinking. I play piano and can definitely attest to this.
not at all a stretch to say that those playing in ensembles might end up being (or at least testing as) more sympathetic and attuned to the needs of others.which is good, because as a solo pianist, my aim is to keep my heart at a balmy 6 kelvins
