In general, experience with the arts, especially music, helps the brain to develop higher analytical and intuitive skills. Children who do not receive arts education by the age of 3 can experience more difficulty with learning and analysis if the networks in the brain are not developed as fully.
Because musical performance involves both art and science, and even math, it exercises all these skills and gives students practice in using them combined in an integrated or holistic way.
Music class also requires discipline and focus, so those skills are practiced as well. Some other important concepts learned include (1) the importance of practicing and correcting either by oneself or in sectional groups (2) coordinating to perform as a balanced, harmonious ensemble instead of competing for oneself only (3) prioritizing personal schedules between classes and school activities in order to maximize achievement.
If a student learns these things by participating in music and art education, it can help motivate and develop better academic performance.

Not necessarily. Learning to play a musical instrument teaches discipline. This is a trait that you can use for the rest of your life. Being able to play a musical instrument gives one joy, whether you are good or not. It is sad to read that some school systems have removed a music program due to budget restraints. To me this is a great diservice to our children. I love music. I took piano as a kid and didn't like it. I switched to guitar when the Beatles came out and was amazed that I could play their songs. I was not very good. One of my favorite memories was getting an electric guitar for Christmas 1965. My buddies and I formed a garage band. We were not very good but it was fun. 40 something years later I appreciate music more. I must have at least 700 LP's and 500 CD's and wouldn't trade one for the joy that they give me. My only regret is that I have no talent. At least I was exposed to music and for that I thank God and school.

Well...there are some people who say, "Oh that person plays the clarinet really well; they must have good grades!" Personally, I really don't know why but for some reason people think that if you are good at an instrument, you do well in school. Not sure why exactly...u_u

music is just one more way to express yourself to others. I personally played drums through school, and would never regret one second of it. the REAL QUESTION IS..did it help my grades any? well, it did help my social skills at least. And that is a piece of the puzzle.
