The Music in Our Minds.
Weinberger, Norman M.
Educational Leadership, v56 n3 p36-40 Nov 1998
New brain research shows that music improves our brain development and even enhances skills in other subjects such as reading and math. Music enhances creativity and promotes social development, personality adjustment, and self-worth. Music making provides the most extensive exercise for brain cells and their synaptic interconnections. (12 references) (MLH)
