Scientist s at Northwestern university have put together a review of their research into what music does to humans. Specifically learning to play music or music training. They have found that music training has a profound impact on other skills including speech and language, attention and memory and to convey emotions vocally. Working with musical sounds enhances the brain’s ability to adapt and change. Researchers have also discovered that musicians are better than non-musicians when it comes to learning to incorporate sound patterns for a new language into words. Their brains can comprehend speech patterns in a noisy background as well. Music training among children tend to have a larger vocabulary and better reading abilities than those without musical training. This research just shows one of the many ways that music can be beneficial to your health and your learning abilities.
