This is a thing for which music education ought to really, really help. Especially for group-based music courses (most often orchestra, band, or choir but sometimes other stuff, too), the students pretty much FORCED to be at close attention for extended periods of time. And they get that good/goosebump feeling that comes when it really fits together, and everyone is on their game. There's value in that. And fun.
