Preschool Piano Lessons Make Kids Smarter; Studies Show

Studies are showing that preschoolers given weekly private piano lessons are out-performing others at school, after only 6 months!  The tests specifically measured improvement in “spatial abilities” – the capacity to understand and remember the spatial relations among objects. 

Advanced special skills are used in Mathematics, Engineering, Architecture, Economic Forecasting and Natural Sciences.  Spatial abilities also help us in everyday situations like reading maps, navigating traffic, or orienting ourselves in a new environment like a new school.

Education World reported that “78 preschoolers were given tests designed to measure spatial abilities. Then a fourth of those students then were given a 12-15 minute private piano lesson each week for six months. At the end of that period, the tests were administered again. The results confirmed the impact of music instruction on students’ spatial-reasoning skills. On one test that required students to assemble a puzzle of a camel, the students who received piano instruction show significantly more improvement than the other children did.”
