100 points higher on the SATs
 Young people who are involved in making music in their teenage years
score 100 points higher on the SATs than those who don't play music,
according to the American Music Conference.
 Recent findings in The College Board's Profile of College Bound Seniors
National Report show that the SAT scores of students who took part in
music instruction surpassed those of students with no music training.
Students who studied music while in high school had average scores
ranging anywhere from 40 to 60 points higher than their non-musical
counterparts
 These results further emphasize the correlation between music study and
academic test results
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN NEUROLOGICAL BENEFITS
Besides the sheer joy and deep satisfaction, of playing a piano, you or your
children can enjoy significant, scientifically proven neurological benefits.
Examples of these dramatic benefits include:
Actual physical and mental increases your brains memory capacity
Dramatic (as much as 30-40%) improvements in math, reading and
comprehension skills
Coordinated multitasking of playing piano refines your time management
and organizational skills on a primary level
Affects both sides of the brain, especially coordination of left and right
hemispheres because of the high density of nerves in the hands
Sharpens concentration, attention to detail and discipline to stick with a
task or song
Better SAT scores, higher admissions to Med school, better social skills, self
esteem and more.
In the past decade, advanced research and
studies about neuroplasticity prove that the
brain can continue to form new connections,
new neurons, even grow new brain cells at any
stage of life or development, with the proper
stimulus. This research indicates that
learning to play piano may be key to
childrens fullest mental, emotional
and scholastic development.
INSTRUMENTAL
PRACTICE
ENHANCES
COORDINATION,
CONCENTRATION
AND MEMORY
 Dr. Frank Wilson is an assistant
clinical professor neurology at the
University of California School of
Medicine, San Francisco. His studies
show that instrumental practice
enhances coordination,
concentration and memory and also
brings about the improvement of
eyesight and hearing. He further
reports that the process of
learning to play an instrument
refines the development of the
brain and the entire
neurological system.
