Developmental Benefits of Music Lessons for Children

September 11, 2014 By Sean Thrower

A colleague/friend of mine posted a link to an article that I thought warranted further sharing. The health benefits of music and music education is often a hot topic, discussed among researchers in fields such as neurology and sociology. I remember reading a study with the topic of delayed effects of Alzheimer or dementia in elderly patients that took on learning a new instrument later in life. I can’t quote the origin of that particular article, but certainly this activity stimulates certain cerebral function that can benefit different people in different ways, and here is further evidence…

The initial article I read (top article) highlights further published research on the benefits of music education on another group: disadvantaged children. Reading through this article, you would find 3 more articles that discuss the health benefits of music lessons, which I have also posted below. If you are considering music lessons for you or your child, here is more reason to go through with it.
