I think that the source that you have added here is very relevant to the topic, but it could be helpful to spend a little bit of time on PsychInfo, google scholar, the UAB library, or another database looking for peer-reviewed secondary literature. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews are especially great sources for Wikipedia articles.

I also noticed that many of the facts listed in the first few sentences were not cited. I think that it could be helpful to find a few sources to document that music impacts cognitive development and facilitates self-expression as stated.

You have stated that personality differences do not account for much of the variance in music preference. Perhaps you could explore the factors that have been found to account for some of the variance in music preference and include a few sentence on that as well.

Additionally, I think that it could be helpful to remove the phrase "mostly using personality from the following sentence:

Numerous studies have been conducted to show that individual personality can have an effect on music preference, mostly using personality, though a recent meta-analysis has shown that personality in itself explains little variance in music preferences.
