One study involved 90 boys from ages 6 to 15. half of them were in the school orchestra and the other half had no musical training. The music students retained more words in a verbal memory test than the non-music students. While participating in a musical group, a young person learns to work with his fellow musicians, to accept making mistakes and moving on, to develop sympath for another person having trouble learning the music and have a wider appreciation of cultures from around the world.
To quote music professor Martha Nusbaum, ''a musical education cultivates human beings rather than producing useful machines''. Music can increase self-esteem, develop creative thinking, problem solving and communication skills.
Did you know researchers have found a definite link between music skills and acheivement in math and English? Exposure to music is education is most critical for at-risk youth. Studies show the arts can help those troubled younsters from going back into the criminal justice system. The North Dakota Journal of Human Services reported that music participation is the most effective way to reduce drinking, arrests, vandalism and marijuana use and can reduce the odds of delinquency by 43-86%
The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Report stated high school students who participated in band or orchestra had the lowest lifetime and current use of all substances, including alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs.
