Music and the Mind

In all the world's cultures people sing, play instruments and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that whole fields of science are dedicated to its study, including the biology of music. Experts think that because of the way our brains process (перерабатывать) music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can do a person a lot of good.

Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children to improve math, science, and language skills. The scientific study of children's IQ scores discovered that children who studied music had the best results. While reading music and playing notes a person uses several regions of the brain, stimulating our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems.

Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of illnesses which affect memory. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead connects music with memories kept in two other areas. That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
