"Researchers at the University of Muenster in Germany have discovered that music lessons in childhood actually enlarge parts of the brain. An area used to analyze the pitch of a musical note is enlarged 25% in musicians compared to people who have never played an instrument.  The earlier the musicians were when they started musical training, the bigger this area of the brain appears to be."
