The news has been hard to miss: in study after study, scientists are finding correlations between music making and some of the deepest workings of the human brain.

Research has linked active music making with better language and math ability, improved school grades, better-adjusted social behavior, and improvements in "spatial-temporal reasoning," which is the foundation of engineering and science. Physicists mapping brain activity have even identified patterns that resemble musical notes.

Take a look at some of the exciting findings linked below, and check back often for new developments in this exciting field.
