"Every once in a while we have feelings so deep and so special that we have no
words for them. Music names them for us, only in notes instead of in
words. It's all in the way music moves--we must never forget that music is
movement, always going somewhere, shifting and changing, and flowing, from one
note to another; and that movement can tell us more about the way we feel than a
million words can." Leonard Bernstein
“According to Dr. Frances Rausher (a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin), music training,
specifically piano instruction, appears to dramatically enhance a child’s
abstract thinking skills and spatial-temporal ability—skills that are necessary
for mathematics and science.”
Music students out-perform non-music on achievements tests in reading and math.
Skills such as reading, anticipating, memory, listening, forecasting, recall,
and concentration are developed in musical performance, and these skills are
valuable to students in math, reading, andscience. (B. Friedman, “An Evaluation of the Achievement in
Reading and Arithmetic of Pupils in Elementary School Instrumental Music
Classes,”—Dissertation Abstracts International)
