Life Is As Musical As a Play
Word Count: 563
Summary:
Have you ever thought about the last music you listened to and how it made you feel or think?
Research is underway to explore whether musically trained brains are more resistant to dementia in old age compared to those without musical exposure.
This Canadian study aims to find out if early musical training gives children a cognitive advantage in areas like reading, writing, and overall verbal skills compared to those without such training.

Think back to the last piece of music you listened to. How did it make you feel? More importantly, what did it make you think?
Research is being conducted to determine if musically trained brains are stronger and better equipped to resist the degenerative effects of aging-related dementia compared to those without musical exposure.
This Canadian study is investigating whether children who receive early musical training gain a cognitive edge in writing, reading, and verbal skills compared to those without any musical training. The project has received a grant of over $150,000 from a California-based organization dedicated to musical research.
Researchers believe the human brain is highly moldable during childhood through to adulthood. They hope to show that early musical training positively affects brain function beyond musical ability, reinforcing the importance of including music in early education. Music could also serve as a powerful tool for rehabilitating brains damaged by disease or stroke.
Previous related research in Germany examined musicians’ brains to understand how they process music and the physical changes it triggers in the brain’s wiring. This research demonstrated that musicians have enhanced auditory and sensory brain regions compared to non-musicians. Notably, musicians who began training early show larger cortical brain areas than those who started later.
The Canadian study will focus on children aged four to six and adults aged fifty to sixty-five with prior musical training. The children will take violin and piano lessons, while both groups will undergo tests measuring their perception and cognitive skills. These groups will be compared to their peers without musical training.
EEG, MEG, and MRI technologies will be employed to track electrical, magnetic, and structural changes in the brain.
Ultimately, the study aims to discover ways to use music as an effective rehabilitation tool for brains affected by degenerative diseases like stroke, heart disease, Alzheimer's, or even cancer.
