THE EFFECT OF SKILLS ACQUIRED DURING MUSICAL TRAINING ON BRAIN FUNCTIONS AND THE COURSE OF NEUROREHABILITATION
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2013, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
The effect of music on the emotional sphere has been studied by many specialists. The authors point out the benefits that accrue from acquiring the musical skills of a trained instrumentalist and vocalist. These skills played a major role in the neurorehabilitation of two patients under treatment at the Rehabilitation Clinic of the University Clinical Center in Gdansk, Poland, in 2010 and 2011.Many years of experience as a piano teacher have confirmed that this instrument, more than any other, stimulates both cerebral hemispheres, which has a positive effect on the child’s intellectual development. For this reason music lessons should be available in general schools, not just music schools.
