Gregory's Server@JeffGrigg @alanbuxton I am sorry but I am not aware of any studies that relate music skills to learning to program.

@yabellini @JeffGrigg @alanbuxton Has anyone tried? There's a lot of anecdotes about, but usually people say its because music is a form of applied mathematics, the utility of which is called into question by this new research. However, its also true that (classical) musicians learn many phrases in Italian and a small amount of Italian grammar.  @celesteh @yabellini @alanbuxton It seems, from what little objective study information I've seen, that "smart people" are generally good at a number of things, typically including, music, computer programming, math, and other things too. I'm not seeing objective evidence that practicing music or programming will directly make you better at the other. |

Over the years, I've heard a number of people claim that music skills correlate with programming skills.
Here is a discussion of it, with some references to (semi-)related studies:
