【正文】 。 However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解碼）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well.
