The Arts Make A Difference

According to a study from the University of Toronto, practicing musical scales may increase your child's IQ. Researchers assigned 144 six-year-olds to voice, keyboard or drama classes or to no extracurricular course at all. After a year, the children who took music lessons gained 3 more IQ points than their peers. "The structured nature of music lessons can strengthen attention, concentration and memorization," says study leader E.G. Schellenberg, Ph.D. Aspiring actors reaped benefits, too: The social skills of the drama pupils improved. So while acting may not boost your boy's brainpower, it can enhance his ability to play well with others.
