Read about these Benefits Of Music Instruction:

The pace of scientific research into music making has never been greater. New data about music’s

relationship to brainpower, wellness and other phenomena is changing the way we perceive mankind’s

oldest art form, and it’s having a real

-world effect on decisions about educational priorities. The briefs

below provide a glimpse into these exciting developments.

Did You Know? Middle school and high school students who participated in instrumental music scored

significantly higher than their non-band peers in standardized tests. University studies conducted in

Georgia and Texas found significant correlations between the number of years of instrumental music

instruction and academic achievement in math, science and language arts. Source: University of

Sarasota Study, Jeffrey Lynn Kluball; East Texas State University Study, Daryl Erick Trent.

Did You Know? Students who were exposed to the music-based lessons scored a full 100 percent higher

on fractions tests than those who learned in the conventional manner. Second-grade and third-grade

students were taught fractions in an untraditional manner ‹ by teaching them basic music rhythm

notation. The group was taught about the relationships between eighth, quarter, half and whole notes.

Their peers received traditional fraction instruction. Source: Neurological Research, March 15, 1999.

Did You Know? Music majors are the most likely group of college grads to be admitted to medical

school. Physician and biologist Lewis Thomas studied the undergraduate majors of medical school

applicants. He found that 66 percent of music majors who applied to med school were admitted, the

highest percentage of any group. For comparison, (44 percent) of biochemistry majors were admitted.

Also, a study of 7,500 university students revealed that music majors scored the highest reading scores

among all majors including English, biology, chemistry and math. Sources: "The Comparative Academic

Abilities of Students in Education and in Other Areas of a Multi-focus University," Peter H. Wood, ERIC

"The Case for Music in the Schools," Phi Delta Kappan, February, 1994.

Did You Know? High school music students score higher on SATs in both verbal and math than their

peers. In 2001, SAT takers with coursework/experience in music performance scored 57 points higher on

the verbal portion of the test and 41 points higher on the math portion than students with no

coursework/experience in the arts. Source: Profile of SAT and Achievement Test Takers, The College

Board, compiled by Music Educators National Conference, 2001.

Did You Know? College-age musicians are emotionally healthier than their non-musician counterparts. A

study conducted at the University of Texas looked at 362 students who were in their first semester of

college. They were given three tests, measuring performance anxiety, emotional concerns and alcohol

related problems. In addition to having fewer battles with the bottle, researchers also noted that the

college-aged music students seemed to have surer footing when facing tests. Source: Houston Chronicle,

January 11, 1998.

Did You Know? A ten-year study, tracking more than 25,000 students, shows that music making

improves test scores. Regardless of socioeconomic background, music-making students get higher marks

in standardized tests than those who had no music involvement. The test scores studied were not only

standardized tests, such as the SAT, but also in reading proficiency exams. Source: Dr. James Lateral,

UCLA, 1997.

Did You Know? The world's top academic countries place a high value on music education. Hungary,

Netherlands and Japan stand atop worldwide science achievement and have strong commitment to

music education. All three countries have required music training at the elementary and middle school

levels, both instrumental and vocal, for several decades. The centrality of music education to learning in

the top-ranked countries seems to contradict the United States' focus on math, science, vocabulary and

technology. Source: 1988 International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement

(IAEEA) Test.

Did You Know? Music training helps under-achievers. In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight public

school first grade classes. Half of the classes became "test arts" groups, receiving ongoing music and

visual arts training. In kindergarten, this group had lagged behind in scholastic performance. After seven

months, the students were given a standardized test. The "test arts" group had caught up to their fellow

students in reading and surpassed their classmates in math by 22 percent. In the second year of the

project, the arts students widened this margin even further. Students were also evaluated on attitude

and behavior. Classroom teachers noted improvement in these areas also. Source: Nature May 23, 1996.

Did You Know? Music education can be a positive force on all aspects of a child's life, particularly on

their academic success. The study of music by children has been linked to higher scores on the SAT and

other learning aptitude tests, and has proven to be an invaluable tool in classrooms across the country.

Given the impact music can have on our children's education, we should support every effort to bring

music into their classrooms.” Source: U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman (NM).

Did You Know? The nation's top business executives agree that arts education programs can help repair

weaknesses in American education and better prepare workers for the 21st century.” Source: "The

Changing Workplace is Changing Our View of Education," Business Week, October 1996.
