The reading group actually did just as well on many measures as the piano group. “Readings pretty good actually. We dont mean to disvalue reading instruction.”More important, he says, was to show piano wasnt actually worse than reading for these kills. thus perhaps encouraging cash-strapped schools to bring their music programs alive.1、Which of the following is
