There is a book titled Spin-Offs The Extra-Musical Advantages of a Musical
Education" by Dr. Robert Cutietta (Univ. of Arizona), Dr. Robert Hamann (Kent
State), and Dr. Linda Miller Walker (Kent State) that shows some startling
data comparing music students to non-music students. It is published by
United Musical Instruments for the Future of Music Project, copyright 1995. I
got my copy from our local music store that services our school. I am sure
there are copies out there or you can probably get one from UMI. In Texas we
also publish the SAT scores of teh All-State Bands, Orchestras, and Choirs
and publish the national average and stae average. The All-State
organizations averages far outshine the state and national averages. That
data is available from the Texas Music Educators Association.
