YEs it helps them,and as others state, it is a foreign language. All three started band in the 6th grade. Marching band was/is crucial for two of them, one is in Grad School for his instrument and contemplating a PhD in performance...Then there's me who can't carry a tune in a bucket. I hated piano, had to take it for 3 painful years as a preteen and hated every single minute of it. I can find middle C and that's it today. I did enjoy Chorus in high school, but wasn't very good in that class. Just great for meeting young ladies and a great way to finish up the school day, easy class....
