Research confirms that music education in school greatly increases the likelihood that a child will grow up to seek higher education and ultimately earn a higher salary. If you want to be a CEO, college president or even a rock star, the message from this study is: take music. As with reading, writing and arithmetic, music should be a core academic focus because it is so vital to a well-rounded education and will pay dividends later in life, no matter the career path taken. Official Report, Harris Research Center, 2007
