According to a recent study at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, "professionally trained musicians have higher IQs and use their brain power more effectively than do their non-musical brethren."
Apparently, learning to use both hands independently while playing musical instruments developed the left and right side of the brain. Musical students scored higher on creative-thinking tests than did the same number of students taking a psychology course.
Wow! So that was what all those years of music lessons did for me. Hmmmmm! Thanks, Mom and Dad.
Did you study music as a child? What instrument did you play? Do you feel more creative because of those lessons?
