Music Education: The Brain-Building Subject.

Lehr, Marjorie R.

Teaching Music, v6 n3 p40,56 Dec 1998

Advocates the inclusion of music education within the academic curriculum instead of labeling music as being "extracurricular." Supports the importance of music education by discussing how music assists with a child's intellectual development and success in other subjects and rewires the brain to work more efficiently in all areas of thinking.
