There seems to be the connection between smart people and their music-making -
From ancient times and geniuses of Plato, Pythagoras;
Leonardo DaVinci; masters like - Tchaikovsky (mathematician) and Borodin (Chemist) to Wernher von Braun "The Father of Modern Rocket Science" who was cellist and pianist;
Fletcher Henderson – Jazz legend /physics/math professor;
John Lynch - a NASA Scientist and performing musician, to name a few.
Our kids may not turn out to be concert pianists, but they may become fantastic writers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, engineers…because they have been provided the immeasurable opportunity of musical training that boosts the thinking and helps develop multiple life skills.
And then the giants of Albert Einstein (piano, violin), Werner von Braum “the father of rocket science” (piano, cello) or India’s top nuclear scientist and pianist, the late Dr. Raja Ramanna who all shared the common “blend” of musical training and superb achievement. Medical professionals and researchers are often serious musicians – just like Dr. Gordon Shaw (UCI) or Canada’s Dr. Robert Zattore, World renowned neuroscientist/pianist. Many prominent public figures are seriously into music, too – Pope Benedict, Allan Greenspan, Condoleezza Rice to name a few.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Music undoubtedly served as the principal source of inspiration and his intuitive thinking.
Albert Einstein stated in no uncertain terms that the Theory of Relativity was a "musical thought" that came to him intuitively.
In fact music served Albert Einstein in all aspects of his life.
Maja Einstein, Albert Einstein's sister:
"After playing piano, he would get up saying 'There, now I've got it', Something in the music would guide his thoughts in new and creative directions." (Jamie Sayen, 1985."Einstein in America", p26).
Hans Einstein, Albert Einstein's son:
"Whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work, he would take refuge in music, and that would usually resolve all his difficulties" (Ronald W. Clark, 1971. "Einstein. The Life and Times". p106).
