Instead, these are studies of the effects of active engagement and discipline. This kind of musical training improves the brain\u2019s ability to discern the components of sound \u2014 the pitch, the timing and the timbre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo learn to read, you need to have good working memory, the ability to disambiguate speech sounds, make sound-to-meaning connections,\u201d said Professor Nina Kraus, director of the\u00a0<a title=\"The lab\u2019s homepage.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.soc.northwestern.edu\/brainvolts\/\" target=\"_blank\">Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory<\/a>at Northwestern University. \u201cEach one of these things really seems to be strengthened with active engagement in playing a musical instrument.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Skill in appreciating the subtle qualities of sound, even against a complicated and noisy background, turns out to be important not just for a child learning to understand speech and written language, but also for an elderly person struggling with\u00a0<a title=\"In-depth reference and news articles about Hearing loss.\" href=\"http:\/\/health.nytimes.com\/health\/guides\/symptoms\/hearing-loss\/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier\" target=\"_blank\">hearing loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a title=\"Read the abtsract.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21910546\" target=\"_blank\">study of those who do keep playing<\/a>, published this summer, researchers found that as musicians age, they experience the same decline in peripheral hearing, the functioning of the nerves in their ears, as nonmusicians. But older musicians preserve the brain functions, the central auditory processing skills that can help you understand speech against the background of a noisy environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe often refer to the \u2018cocktail party\u2019 problem \u2014 or imagine going to a restaurant where a lot of people are talking,\u201d said Dr. Claude Alain, assistant director of the\u00a0<a title=\"The institute\u2019s homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/research.baycrest.org\/rotman\" target=\"_blank\">Rotman Research Institute<\/a>\u00a0in Toronto and one of the authors of the study. \u201cThe older adults who are musically trained perform better on speech in noise tests \u2014 it involves the brain rather than the peripheral hearing system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, are approaching the soundscape from a different point of view, studying the<a title=\"In-depth reference and news articles about Genetics.\" href=\"http:\/\/health.nytimes.com\/health\/guides\/specialtopic\/genetics\/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier\" target=\"_blank\">genetics<\/a>\u00a0of absolute, or perfect, pitch, that ability to identify any tone.

Her desire to go back to graduate school and study the brain, she told me, grew out of teaching at a French school for musically talented children, and observing the ways that musical training affected other kinds of learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you get a kid who is maybe 3 or 4 years old and you\u2019re teaching them to attend, they\u2019re not only working on their auditory skills but also working on their attention skills and their memory skills \u2014 which can translate into scholastic learning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Now Ms. Parbery-Clark and her colleagues can look at recordings of the brain\u2019s electrical detection of sounds, and they can see the musically trained brains producing different \u2014 and stronger \u2014 responses. \u201cNow I have more proof, tangible proof, music is really doing something,\u201d she told me. \u201cOne of my lab mates can look at the computer and say, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re recording from a musician!\u2019\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the researchers in this area are themselves musicians interested in the plasticity of the brain and the effects of musical education on brain waves, which mirror the stimulus sounds. \u201cThis is a response that actually reflects the acoustic elements of sound that we know carry meaning,\u201d Professor Kraus said.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a fascination \u2014 and even a certain heady delight \u2014 in learning what the brain can do, and in drawing out the many effects of the combination of stimulation, application, practice and auditory exercise that musical education provides. But the researchers all caution that there is no one best way to apply these findings.<\/p>\n<p>Different instruments, different teaching methods, different regimens \u2014 families need to find what appeals to the individual child and what works for the family, since a big piece of this should be about pleasure and mastery. Children should enjoy themselves, and their lessons. Parents need to care about music, not slot it in as a therapeutic tool.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want music to be recognized for what it can be in a person\u2019s life, not necessarily, \u2018Oh, we want you to have better cognitive skills, so we\u2019re going to put you in music,\u2019\u00a0\u201d Ms. Parbery-Clark said. \u201cMusic is great, music is fantastic, music is social \u2014 let them enjoy it for what it really is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When children learn to play a musical instrument,\u00a0they strengthen a range of auditory skills.
