New York: High school music training can improve the teenage brain's responses to sound and sharpen hearing and language skills, a study says. Music classes help enhance skills that are critical for academic success, the authors said.The gains were seen during group music classes included in the schools' curriculum, suggesting in-school training accelerates neuro-development.
For the study, Kraus and colleagues recruited 40 Chicago-area high school students. Nearly half the students had enrolled in band classes, which involved two to three hours a week of instrumental group music instruction in school. The rest had enrolled in fitness exercises during a comparable period.
