Musical training is a part of many people’s lives, and has improved neurological functions for musicians of various ages and experiences. Using a range of scientific research from around the world, this paper demonstrates how musical training is beneficial to musicians in physical, psychological, and biological ways. The purpose of this paper is to make research on music training more easily digestible for the average reader. Many scientific papers are difficult to comprehend, and this paper is meant to facilitate understanding the benefits of musical training. In general, with few exceptions, the findings are that musical training has a variety of effects on the brain, many of which relate to working memory and executive function. This paper will discuss the meaning of these findings, how these findings can affect musicians on a daily basis, and examine the connection between these findings and musical education.
