Research Papers / "how music effects math skills," what thesis statement for research paper [4]

The repetitive and mathematical nature of music lends credence to the view that those skilled in music are also innately skilled in mathematics

Essays / Question on Style - dividing points to paragraphs? [4]

to answer your first point i would use two paragraphs, it makes the people reading it less likely to think that your relevant points are just run on sentences

the second point - use a connecting sentence that makes the second paragraph relevant. it would also be good if you made the two paragraphs slightly different in terms of their points.

Hope that helped,
