When I used to teach at the local music school, I had an article I handed out. It showed how a University study found a direct connection between learning to play music and a person's English/math skills. Learning to play an instrument helped develop parts of the brain (ONE of them being an increases in a person's hippocampal volume).

According to the 2003 NAMM/Gallup poll, eighty percent of the US population believes playing a musical instrument makes you smarter.

Wait a minnitt... this just in... further polls show that while eighty percent of the population believes playing a musical instrument makes you smarter, eighty-six percent play a musical instrument... !

Not arguing that at all; let me put it another way. Are we smart because we're musicians, or are we musicians because we're smart? (actually, I'm poor because I'm a musician, and I don't feel very smart.)
