It's no surprise, we
keep hearing about it
00:00:05.33\00:00:08.07
but it bears repeating.
00:00:08.10\00:00:09.94
Music makes you smarter.
00:00:09.97\00:00:11.67
A study reported when
examining 278 eighth and ninth
00:00:11.71\00:00:16.48
graders, the use of background
music in study halls resulted
00:00:16.51\00:00:19.91
in substantially greater
improved reading comprehension
00:00:19.95\00:00:23.28
than those that
studies without music.
00:00:23.32\00:00:26.25
Another study revealed
pre-school children taught with
00:00:26.29\00:00:28.86
games and songs showed an
IQ advantage 10 to 20 points
00:00:28.89\00:00:33.90
over those without the songs,
00:00:33.93\00:00:35.46
and at age 15, these
students had higher reading
00:00:35.50\00:00:39.57
and math scores, so I
say, bring on the music.
