>>>...but do not equate correlation with causation....>>>>

Good point. I will be the first to shout this most basic premise of the scientific method - if you will let me. I don't think the article posted by RHARV made that mistake. It seems to be a reduction of a very large set of statistical results presented in a way that allows the reader to draw her own conclusions. Am I wrong about that?

I am a scientist on one side of my brain. On the other side, I am adamant in my belief that music is an indispensable component of a well-rounded education. If there were proof of a cause-and-effect relationship between music study and test scores - whether positive or negative - I don't think it would change my mind that much.
