Music Enrichment Programs Improve the Neuroal Encoding of Speech in At-Risk Children
Kraus, et al.
The Journal of Neuroscience, this week, reported on research evaluating the biological changes following participation in existing successful music education programs. The authors found that greater than 1 year of instrumental music training was associated with larger gains in neural processing. Two years of music training provided stronger neurophysiological function related to reading and language skills.
