Making music is good for the brain.
Over the last decade, a series of new scientific studies has demonstrated a link between active music making - not just passive listening, but actually taking part -and increased brainpower. Young kids who make music show improved spatial-temporal reasining, which is the foundation of later success in math and science. And they actually get better grades than kids who don't take music.
I strongly believe this. I have seen the effects in my own children.
