Some new and exciting research on the effects of music education were just released by Northwestern University September 9, 2014. According to Dr. Nina Kraus, director of Northwestern's Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory, "making music is helping to create a more efficient brain, a brain that is going to be able to help a person learn and communicate, especially through sound." In short, they showed that studying music biologically changes the brain in a way that helps make it easier for students to learn.
