As mentioned earlier, studies have shown increased brain functioning associated with music listening. In fact, “early musical training helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning” (Children’s Music Workshop “Twelve Benefits of Music Education” 2005). Recent studies have shown that children who study arts perform higher on standardized tests and earn higher grades in school (Children’s Music Workshop). The skills learned in mastering the arts – study skills, communication skills, and cognitive skills, to name a few – can be translated into other subjects at school. “The musician reads abstract concepts from the page and then translates them into concrete phenomena that involve time and space” (Children’s Music Workshop).
