The Correlation Between Music and Math: A Neurobiology Perspective
It turns out that there is much evidence that supports the positive effects of music on one's ability to do math. Most research shows that when children are trained in music at a young age, they tend to improve in their math skills. The surprising thing in this research is not that music as a whole is enhancing math skills. It is certain aspects of music that are affecting mathematics ability in a big way. Studies done mostly in children of young age show that their academic performance increases after a certain period of music education and training.

Brother help a lending hand
This song is made up of pieces of “Michael Row the Boat Ashore” and “When the Saints go marching in,” along with various lyrics that have their origins in the slave South of America. It is a dedication to America as we are severely split on political and personal levels…and then there is the controversial figure Donald Trump. We should be building now, not tearing apart. I pray that we will be able to work together as Americans and one day here the trumpet play for both and all you and me.
