A new study from The University of
Toronto helps us continue to prove the benefits of music to young
children. The recently published research report
provides solid evidence that music lessons can improve a young child’s
IQ and intellectual development. The study was conducted on a group of 6
year old children who were assigned to participate in music lessons,
drama lessons, or no lessons. Since the researchers found solid evidence
supporting that music lessons enhance a child’s IQ, the report was
chosen to be published in the August issue of Psychological Science.
As the report shares:
The participating children were given IQ tests before and
after the lessons. The results of this study revealed that increases in
IQ from pre- to post-test were larger in the music groups than in the
two others. Generally these increases occurred across IQ subtests, index
scores, and academic achievement.
