Music Helps Infants Communicate

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
A.A. Milne

A fascinating article, "15 Adorable Facts about How Children Learn", in Mental Floss magazine, offered this "adorable" insight:

"A 2012 study of 1-year-old infants found that interactive music classes lead to better communication. The babies learned to play percussion instruments and sing songs with their parents in an early music class. Compared with a control group, these children showed a greater sensitivity to musical structures and tones, along with better early communication skills like waving goodbye or pointing to an object they wanted."
