Educators have long known the benefits of music but few students get iinvolved in music lessons. Learning to play a musical instrument increases a student’s memorizing capability and capacity. Compared with non-music students, students taking music lessons have higher reading and comprehension scores as well as higher math scores. Further, playing a musical instrument takes discipline and that discipline translates to students with better time management and organizational skills. The U.S. Department of Education research shows that children who are highly iinvolved in instrumental music between seventh and twelfth grade are more proficient in math. According to National Education Longitudinal Study data, children in music classes receive more academic honors and awards.
