Music is part of our daily lives. We listen to it in the car on the way to work, while we wait in the doctor's office, the music is everywhere around us. Of course, not everyone is musically inclined, and singing or playing an instrument isn't for everyone. That doesn't make it any less important. What we don't realize is how music correlates to our personality types. In a study conducted by Kathleen A. Corrigall, E. Glenn Schellenberg and Nicole M. Misura we see how different children with different personality types are more likely to be interested in taking music lessons. Some personality types push people to take music lessons, while others push them not to. Certain personality types can also help determine whether kids will do better or worse in music lessons. From this we can also determine which of those kids who continue will do good, bad or mediocre. I think this study is important because it can help music teachers better train their students and make it more likely that many students will be involved in music in a way that is more specific to their needs and personalities. cognition and personality” (Corrigall, K.A., Schellenberg, E., Misura, N.M., Besson, M., & Synder, J.) is a study of how music is related to cognition and personality. It is different from other studies conducted on the correlation between music training and cognition because this study specifically examines personality indicators for taking music lessons. “Participants were 118 adults for study 1 and 167 children aged 10 to 12 years” (Corrigall, K.A., Schellenberg, E., Misura, N.M., Besson, M., & Synder, J.). This study involves two groups; the first are the adults, the second the children... in the center of the sheet..., Misura, NM, Besson, M., and Synder, J.).” The second study on children gave them the chance to observe people who were more likely than adults to be actively involved in music training at the time of testing. This study led to months of extracurricular music lessons, “57% (Corrigall, K.A., Schellenberg, E., Misura, N.M., Besson, M., & Synder, J.).” with some musical training were still taking lessons at the time of the study. They also measured the correlation between family income and parents' education with this to see how much it affected children. They found that most children who participate in music lessons were also more likely to engage in more extracurricular activities; they calculated that the children spent "65 cumulative months in non-musical activities" (Corrigall, KA, Schellenberg, E ., Misura, N.M., Besson, M. and Synder, J.).”
