Students who played instruments had more improved neural processing than the other children who just attended. “We like to say that ‘making music matters,’” said Kraus in one of his articles, being a mother I was completely inspired by this statement and eagerly liked to share this in the article and benefit the readers. “Because it is only through the active generation and manipulation of sound that music can rewire the brain.”
