This reminds me of how I became a better guitar player by learning piano. I had been playing guitar (classical & metal mostly) for about 15 years before learning piano. Upon learning some basic piano, I found the guitar fretboard came alive in entirely new ways. I believe this to be a result of the piano keyboard having a visually clear and uniform organization of notes, enabling me to "see" how music theory operated in a more visceral way.

Strangely though, outside of elementary school there’s less emphasis on tactile learning—and no football is not the same thing. Art teaches the mind how to think outside the box and in creative ways. It also taps into the subconscious and allows us to learn and communicate better.

Or at least taught me how to understand math in a way I’d never been able to in all my many years of education. It makes me wonder how many kids are missing out because we’re focused on teaching math one specific way even though it’s quite clear the way we’re teaching it just doesn’t “click” for a lot of students.
