The Benefits of Music

We all know that music is pleasant to listen to, but it also brings many benefits to those who study it.

Reading music and playing musical instruments stimulates the brain by activating regions in all four of the cortex’s lobes. A concert pianist’s cerebral cortex is enlarged by 30 per cent!  

Learning music can boost your IQ by up to seven points and help improve your assessment outcomes. Pre-schoolers can also improve their spatial reasoning IQ by learning the keyboard.

One study found that 75 per cent of Silicon Valley CEOs had instrumental music education as a child.

That’s music to our ears!
