🎵 MIT researchers just proved it music makes you smarter. 🧠✨

A new study found that learning music strengthens memory, focus, problem-solving, and language skills by activating both sides of the brain at once. Unlike coding, which mainly builds logic, music also lights up creativity, emotion, and collaboration giving students a fuller mental workout. 🎶

Experts say starting with music doesn’t just boost intelligence it can actually make learning to code easier later on.

So maybe the best way to raise future innovators… is to hand them an instrument first. 🎹🎻
