I disagree with you right about there.
Understanding (and performing) music involves skills many do not have (or have not developed).
I firmly believe the ability to read/play music develops fundamental skill sets many do not understand or appreciate.

2nd language
math (in real time)
discipline
many others. ..

Music does improve your learning/comprehension; therefore affecting the better 'you'.
I'm a firm believer in that. I can cite studies, but don't care to argue this. Just something for consideration.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
