While we often bring you great research on the many skills and benefits music learning can provide, there is another very important part to the neuromusical research field – enhancing our understanding of various learning disorders and delays.

The researchers believe that through identifying these connections, we could come to better understand ADHD and the effectiveness of current interventions and therapies.
