I think learning music is very effective for self-improvement for other reasons, it's a very effective exercise in reconciling feelings with reality. Do you love a particular section of the music in your head and it's really hard? You just have to keep wrestling with reality to learn it. Are you trying to express a certain feeling with music? You have to get skilled enough at the music/instrument to be able to express it. I don't know if that means it actually helps teach emotional self-regulation in general, but I wouldn't be surprised.
