[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's necessary. But however the brain mechanism trains to learn music, it also assists in acquiring math skills. So while your kid may never be a concert violinist, he/she could end up better at Math. Never had my kids do musical instruments, the talent just isn't there-- they are great athletes and that is where I invest my energy and money.[/quote] Amen to that. If a kid plays 4 years of lacrosse in high school, that counts for something. You can't just disregard it and say it means nothing. Same with playing an instrument for 10 years (which in my opinion is more impressive). An admissions person is going to consider that a positive. It may not guarantee admission, but it does sway it in the right direction. FWIW, my DS who has played piano for 10 years is very gifted at math...takes honors and AP level and puts very little effort in to get an A.[/quote]
