Making Music Makes You Smarter
• A recent study by University of Toronto Professor, Glenn Schellenberg found the IQ of 6-year old music students rose nearly three points higher than those who did not receive any music lessons. ( Toronto Star , July 14, 2004)
• Neuroscientists now know that infants are born with neural mechanisms devoted exclusively to music. Studies show that early and ongoing musical training helps organize and develop children's brains. (Susan Black, “The Musical Mind” The American School Board Journal , January 1997)
• A 1984 study by Mueller found that physical, mental, emotional, and social development is faster when students learn a musical instrument. (Jeanne Akin, “Music Makes A Difference” Lafayette Arts and Science Foundation, 1987)
• A two-year Swiss study involving 1,200 children in 50 schools showed that students involved in the music programs were better at languages, learned to read more easily, showed an improved social climate, showed more enjoyment in school and had a lower level of stress than non-music students. (E.W. Weber, Et Al. 1993)
