Everyday listening skills are stronger in musically-trained children than in those without music training. Significantly, listening skills are closely tied to the ability to: perceive speech in a noisy background, pay attention, and keep sounds in memory. -Strait, D.L. and N. Kraus, "Biological impact of auditory expertise across the life-span: musicians as a model of auditory learning"; Hearing Research, 2013.

Research shows that making music changes the brain and that these brain changes have tangible impacts on listening skills, learning and cognition. -"Music, hearing, and education: from the lab to the classroom"; quoted in Northwestern University, September/October 2017.

Playing an instrument helps youngsters better process speech in noisy classrooms and more accurately interpret the nuances of language that are conveyed by subtle changes in the human voice. -"Why Music Education Matters"; quoted in the Phoenix Symphony, February 6, 2017

Students who take music in middle school score significantly higher on algebra assignments in 9th grade than their non-music counterparts. -Helmrich. B. H. (2010), "Window of opportunity? Adolescence, music, and algebra."; Journal of Adolescent Research. 25 (4).

Students in high-quality school music education programs score higher on standardized tests compared to students in schools with deficient music education programs, regardless of the socioeconomic level of community. -Nature Neuroscience, April 2007.
