A research was conducted in 2007 where a group of babies was fed breast milk, and after an assessment, it turned out their Q score stood higher than the average baby who wasn't fed this way. However, it turned out the results were only applicable to kids who had a single version of the FADS2 gene.

Science has proven in many different ways why it is important for parents to introduce their children to music from as early as four to six years old. Our brains are like a muscle, it gets stronger the more it is exercised. This process of changing the brain through experiences is called neural plasticity. While learning to play an instrument is great for neural plasticity,, it has also been shown that listening to classical music, for example, decreases feelings of stress and raises levels of enjoyment, which in themselves, can often result in better focus and improved performance.
