One of the greats in the conducting world has passed. Michael Tilson Thomas was a top conductor, but also spent a lot of his time educating young musicians in the New World Symphony. I got to work with him twice in my career as a professional horn player. Once in Japan at the Pacific Music Festival and once as second horn with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Both were wonderful and memorable experiences!! Rest in Peace Michael Tilson Thomas. Here he is at the piano explaining why dissonant music appeals to him.

Learning music activates multiple parts of the brain at once. Memory, attention, coordination, and pattern recognition all work together during practice.

Over time, this strengthens neural connections and supports cognitive growth. Studies have shown that even one year of music lessons can lead to noticeable improvements in IQ and learning ability.

Unlike passive learning, music requires active engagement. The brain is constantly processing, adjusting, and building new pathways.

Extra homework builds knowledge. Music helps build the brain that uses it.
