Music Training Improves Memory, Reading Skills in Children

Former Member 8/13/1411:34 AM

Singing or learning to play a musical instrument helps children belonging to low socioeconomic status improve their academic performance, a new study suggests.

Nina Kraus, PhD, a neurobiologist at the Northwestern University said that the study supports the idea that musical training can help impoverished children improve their language and reading skills.

Previous research has shown that children who learn music do better than their peers in school. However, these studies were only conducted on children belonging to upper and middle class. The present study included students from musical training programs in Chicago and Los Angeles public schools.
