Make musiceducation a priority for yourself, your child,and for humanity. According to a study byCollege Board in 2010, students who tookmusic lessons for four years or more scored an average of 100points higher on the SATs than students who did not play a musicalinstrument. In addition, studying music improves recall andretention of verbal information, advances math achievement, andboosts reading and language arts skills. According to researchby Mitchell Gaynor M.D. (Sounds of Healing), music also hastherapeutic physical effects, including reduced anxiety, heart andrespiratory rates, reduced cardiac complications, lowered bloodpressure, and increased immune responses.
