"Musical instruction can improve both reading and maths skills. After under performing primary school students were given musical instruction, they caught up with average pupils in reading and were ahead in maths."

"Singing lessons and group music play have been shown to boost the creative thinking and motor skills of 3 and 4 year olds"

"Musical activities that focus on rhythm skills, such as tapping out the beat of a song while singing, can improve spelling ability later on"
