I would argue that studying music (especially music theory) at a young age has helped me tremendously as a programmer in my old age. I am writing an algo trading bot right now and I make a habit of reading the entire codebase fairly regularly to make sure I understand exactly what is going on at all times while the bot is running. Which seems similar to reading and understanding a sheet (or a book) of music before you play it. There must be some correlation there although I have no hard evidence.
