Music lessons in early childhood bring about changes in the brain that could improve its performance far into adulthood, researchers say.
Brain scans of young adults showed those who had formal musical training before seven had thicker brain areas dealing with hearing and self-awareness .
The findings note how brain development can be influenced by the age when children start to learn a musical instrument , and how those changes can continue into later life.
"Early musical training benefits kids more than just making them enjoy music. It changes the brain, which could bring about cognitive advances as well," said Yunxin Wang of Beijing Normal University.
