Genius Hour Project Presentation

My Genius Hour Project Presentation is on a topic that I can relate to for the majority of my life.  What are the benefits of learning a music instrument?  Some people believe that music makes you smarter.  Is this true?  Can learning a music instrument benefit students academically?

My goals for this project is to provide evidence as to whether learning a musical instrument is beneficial to a student's academic success.

My experience so far is I've witnessed the benefits of learning an instrument.  It helped me count in different time signatures (which I think is transferable to math), keep a rhythm and organize musical tones that work in harmony with one another.  My next step is to further this experience and provide data to others that will either agree or disagree with the statement: "Music makes you smarter".
