Science Daily - Early music lessons boost brain development
Scientists tested multiple groups of adult subjects: those with musical training that began before age 7, those whose musical training began after age 7, and those with no musical training. Each were given a non-musical "movement task", and it was found that those who took up musical training before the age of 7 were more proficient than both of the other groups. Those with musical training after age 7 were the same as those with none. Brain scans revealed that the pre-age-7 musicians had more "white matter" in the corpus callosum, which connects supposed motor regions in the brain.
