Known benefits of playing musicThe list of benefits of playing music is extensive, including developing strong cognitive skills and strengthening critical thinking. Scientists credit playing music with improving spatial-temporal-reasoning.Spatial-temporal
reasoning is the ability to create, maintain, transform, and relate
complex mental images, even in the absence of external sensory input or
feedback. In other words, reasoning through space and time. Math,
science, physics, chess, and music all involve this type of reasoning. Click

Playing music early actually helps students succeed in school, as well as later on in life. Advanced spatial-temporal reasoning lends itself to better planning and organizing, and people with advanced spatial-temporal reasoning tend to be more articulate – all traits and qualities associated with success. All this greatness can start with playing music. It's not just a fun past-time, it is an important element of developing strong reasoning skills at a young age.
