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.
