Just read a very interesting research article on the power of music to facilitate learning. Published in the journal Psychology of Music, authors Joseph M Piro and Camilo Ortiz from Long Island University, found that music tuition can help children improve reading skills. As part of their quasi-experimental study, One group of children studied piano formally for three years, while a control group had no exposure to music lessons, either in school or via private study. Results showed that the experimental music tuition group had significantly better vocabulary and verbal sequencing scores at post-test compared to the control group.
