Were all those lessons a waste of your parents money because you didnt become a great violinist?Not at all. Even though it has been a long time since you played the violin, a new study shows that as little as one year of music training can have a positive influence on your brain that will last the rest of your life.In an experiment comparing children who had taken music lessons to those who hadnt. Laurel Trainor, a researcher of the Institute for Music and the Mind at Ontarios McMaster University, discovered that the musically-trained kids had larger brain responses to the sound recognition exams. Trainors findings show the possibility that musical education can actually improve the brains hearing cortex (大脑皮层). “The studys results show that music training affects attention and memory, and helps children develop learning skills. In this way music training might lead to better learning across a number of fields, Trainor said in a statement. The effects of music education are even more obvious on children with difficulty in reading and writing and other language-related disabilities.The studys results point out that “musical training influences attention and memory, which makes a possibility that musical training might lead to better learning across a number of fields, Trainor said in a report.The effects of music training are even more easily seen in children with difficulties in language. “A music training that can strengthen the hearing skills of children who have difficulty in reading may also help improve some of their language abilities, said Gottfried Schlaug, who has also studied music training and learning.So, whether or not you can play a Tchaikovsky symphony part, its likely that your years of music lessons prepared your brain for all the speeches, emails, and conversations that are part of your life today. To help make sure that kids today have the same chances for music-inspired (激发) brain development, help out by volunteering with or giving away instruments to your schools music training department.35 .
