Medical Daily (10/8) reports that parents “who are undecided about whether to enroll their children in music classes may want to take notice of a small study published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, which found that music may increase a child’s attention span and improve memory.” The researchers “followed 40 children, half of whom played an instrument.” Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, the researchers “examined the blood flow to the brain through the images as children performed tests that measured their memory and reaction time.”
