Cognitive effects of learning an instrument, as well as skill transfer survey (For people with intermediate proficiency in their chosen instrument)
I am writing a paper for my college class about the cognitive benefits of learning an instrument and the possibility that learning an instrument increases a person's ability for skill acquisition in other areas.  I would like to ask you some subjective questions about whether you have perceived cognitive benefits or have found that learning an instrument has made learning other skills easier.  I will leave room for text responses if you wish to elaborate on your answers.  Thank you!
