oafc0000 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) http://musiced.about...ide/a/pinst.htm There are better links but I am surprised at the level of opposition... Another... Quote Wendell Harrison, writing in the May 1983 issue of Vermont Music Educators Association News said: Studies have been done for some time now on basic intelligence as it relates to playing a musical instrument. While once it was said that smart kids are in the band or orchestra, for some time now, neurologists have been finding that the kids are smart because they are in the band or orchestra. Recently a series of comprehensive skills tests was run on 5154 fifth graders in all the Albuquerque's 75 elementary schools ... and guess what? In every single test area kids who were learning to play an instrument and were participating in the school band or orchestra received higher marks than their classmates. Not only that, but the longer the school children had been in instrumental programs, the higher they scored! I recently heard Dr. Frank Wilson, a well known neurologist, speak at a meeting of the American Music Conference in New York City. His feeling that increased intelligence is helped by a child playing a musical instrument is based on the fact that approximately 80 - 90% of the brain's motor control capabilities are devoted to the hands, mouth, and throat. ... He feels that by developing highly refined control in those areas, a child is stimulating almost the entire brain, thereby increasing its total capabilities.
