Checkout the Big Brain on Brad Another study finds that making music builds brains.
From TIME:
Science has shown that when children learn to play music, their brains begin to hear and process sounds that they couldn’t otherwise hear. This helps them develop “neurophysiological distinction” between certain sounds that can aid in literacy, which can translate into improved academic results for kids.
Of note is that the study provides further evidence that simply listening to complex music (the Mozart effect) does little to improve intelligence, the real gains were only realized when the participants were engaged in the music classes.
