Musicians have better memory

Wow! This is exciting to know! Musicians have better memory than non-musicians! Well, from a lay-man's point of view, it isn't really surprising, because, musicians work with patterns, and anything that needs to be committed to memory, when sewn in a pattern, sits there for a long time.

Don't worry. This article isn't that long either. If you're a musician too, then you would definitely find it interesting!
