Vitale  \nNipissing University  \nAbstract  \nThrough 14 years of teaching music in the Greater Toronto Area, the “music makes you smarter”notion has imbued many of the conversations I have had with multiple stakeholders in public education. Such conversations have suggested that the ancillary benefits of teaching music have now become the principal reason why we teach music--what I refer to as a new paradigm shift in music education. This study attempts to validate my own experiences through a sample size of 100 participants and a multiple methods approach to inquiry. Specifically, this study explores the perceptions and perspectives ofthe “music makes you smarter” notion by four groups of stakeholders in elementary education, namely; music teachers, students, parents, and non-music teachers. With a few exceptions, both quantitative and qualitative data have generated perceptions and perspectives that validate the “music makes you smarter” notion, suggesting that my own experiences of a paradigm shift within music education in the GTA were indeed authentic and valid. This paper ends with a discussion on the ramifications of this new paradigm shift and ultimately argues that the music itself should be the focus of music education.  \nKey words: Music Education, Paradigm Shift, Perceptions, Perspectives, & Mixed Methods  \nRésumé  \nAu cours des 14 années passées à enseigner la musique dans la région du Grand Toronto, l'idée que « la musique vous rend plus intelligent » a imprégné de nombreuses conversations que j'ai eues avec différents acteurs de l'enseignement public. Ces conversations ont suggéré que les avantages secondaires de l'enseignement de la musique sont maintenant devenus la principale raison de son enseignement-ce que j'appelle un changement de paradigme dans l'éducation musicale.

Plus précisément, cette étude explore les perceptions et les perspectives de l'idée que « la musique vous rend plus intelligent », de quatre groupes d'intervenants dans l'éducation élémentaire, à savoir : les professeurs de musique, les élèves, les parents, et les professeurs enseignant une autre matière que la musique.À quelques exceptions près, les données quantitatives et qualitatives ont généré des perceptionset des perspectives qui valident l'idée que « la musique vous rend plus intelligent », suggérant que ma propre expérience d'un changement de paradigme dans l'éducation musicale dans larégion du Grand Toronto était effectivement véritable et pertinente. Cet article se termine par une analyse sur les ramifications de ce nouveau changement de paradigme et soutient finalement que la musique elle-même devrait être au centre de l'éducation musicale.  \nMots-clés : éducation musicale, changement de paradigme, perceptions, perspectives, méthodes mixtes.  \nMusic Makes You Smarter: A New Paradigm for Music Education? Perceptions and Perspectives from Four Groups of Elementary Education Stakeholders  \nPreamble and Contextual Framework  \nIn my experience, the notion that “music makes you smarter” has been imbued in virtually all of the music education marketing campaigns for both public and private educational institutions in the last decade. Such institutions have cited the results of a wide range of research that corroborate the “music makes you smarter” notion. A visit to the websites of several national and international music education organizations also reveal a surfeit of research corroborating the “music makes you smarter” notion.
