For instance, people use their ears and eyes, as well as large and small muscles...Musical experience strengthens the capacity to be verbally competent."

The journals lists these six benefits as Enhanced Language Capabilities, Improved Memory, Strengthened Hand-eye Coordination, Powerful Study Habits, Teamwork, and Mental Processing & Problem-solving heightened. The journal goes on to say that, "Especially in young children, music directly benefits the ability to learn words, speak them correctly, and process the many new sounds they hear from others."
