Music forms long-lasting relationships to academic content (Wallace and Rubin, 1998). Music facilitates the encoding and retrieval of sequential verbal information (Wolfe and Horn, 1993; Shehan, 1981; Wallace, 1994). The use of music for comprehension of non-musical content has shown to be beneficial for students with learning disabilities (Kern et. al, 2007; Thaut et. al 2014).
