This website talks about a long-term correlation between the duration of music lessons and positive IQ. However, there was no correlation between school subjects and music lessons.

Music and math can be very harmonious, according to the Education Resources Information Center. There are proportions and patterns in math, as there is in music.
This was a study done by the American Psychological Association. The study involved undergraduate students and music with sexual activity present in the lyrics. This was to see if there was an effect on the student’s sexual activity or attitude. This part of the student’s life was never affected by the music.
Rutgers University exposed subjects to violent rap music in an experiment to see if it changed their opinion on things like race and stereotypes. The experiment showed after listening to the violent rap music, stereotypes were found to be more believed by the subjects, which was predicted in the hypothesis.
