MIT Says Music Not Coding Might Be the Key to Raising Smarter Kids

If you’re debating between enrolling your child in piano lessons or a coding boot camp, new research from MIT might help you decide and the answer may surprise you.

According to the study, learning to code only activates general-purpose areas of the brain associated with logic and problem-solving. That’s not bad, but it doesn’t tap into the brain’s more powerful language centers, which are crucial for communication, memory, and cognitive flexibility.

In contrast, learning a musical instrument from an early age has been shown to build stronger, more lasting structural and functional brain connections particularly in regions responsible for speech, memory, and executive function. And here’s the kicker: these brain-boosting benefits stick around even if the child stops playing music later in life.
So while coding remains a valuable skill, researchers suggest that music offers deeper, longer-lasting cognitive development. If you want to future-proof your child's mind, a violin, guitar, or keyboard might be a better investment than an app or programming course.
Bottom line? Music isn’t just an art it’s brain food.

If your content has no meaning, people won’t notice it. If you don’t protect it, someone else might use it. We are now creating into a system that learns, predicts, and reuses with or without consent.

The question is no longer '𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵?', now, it is all about '𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘵?'. Because in this age, silence is permission and inaction is a choice.

The biggest A&R exec in the world isn’t a person—it’s an algorithm.

Streaming algorithms directly impact which artist grow, and how income is distributed. From Tik Tok to Spotify, algorithms drive the music we hear, and the music we create.

As an artist, producer, or label, understanding these systems is key to creating engaging music.

As platforms shift to short-form content and predictive AI curation, the dynamics of music discovery are evolving before our eyes.

A breakdown of how different algorithms work can be found below.

So how does this affect artists?

✅PROS:
- Micro-niche discovery: Listeners can find subgenres that weren’t easily found pre-streaming.
- Independent exposure: Artists can go viral without label support.
- Rapid feedback loop: You know quickly what works and what doesn’t.

❌CONS:
- The “content treadmill”: Constant releases in order to stay relevant and visible in the algorithm.
- Short-track favoritism: Songs < 2 minutes perform better on platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram.
- Pay-to-win: Discovery is increasingly tied to ad spend.
