Music-based program helps children develop verbal intelligence: Study

Toronto Sun:
Preschool children learning to analyze information and solve problems using language-based reasoning thrive when taught using music, a new Canadian study has found.
In the study, 48 children between the ages of four and six took part in computer-based, cognitive training programs that were projected onto a classroom wall. The lessons were delivered by colourful, animated cartoon characters.

Both groups received two hour-long training sessions a day for four weeks, led by instructors from The Royal Conservatory in Toronto.
