A study conducted at MIT shows that understanding computer coding is not the same as language, math or logic. By contrast, it is teaching kids how to play an instrument that develop skills and brain power, related to language, math and logic.


Children who take music lessons do better on reading and concentration tests. They also do better when auditory skills are tested such as “decoding speech against a noisy background.”


Study participants from Edinburgh and Lothian, born in 1936 who played a musical instrument showed detectable cognitive benefits over their lifetime which contributed to healthy cognitive ageing.”
