Their ages ranged from six to eighteen years old. Moreover, scientists have paid special attention to those who have learned to play a musical instrument. The professor, who led the study, and his team came to the conclusion that playing a musical instrument activates the functioning of the cerebral cortex. As a result, there are:

How music can affect the development of speech in the child
Since ancient times, scientists have tried to associate making music and speech development. When was invented positron emission tomography, the scientists were able to make a unique discovery. They proved that in the brain of a musician nerve cells largely filled with gray matter. The left temporal gyrus significantly exceeds its size. This is an area, which is responsible for the construction of the speech with separate members, its recognition and perception.
When a child is engaged in music lessons, it is possible to develop both the motor skills of hands, and speech. Children begin to learn to read better and faster, they differ in a clear expression of thought, it is better to learn a different language. It becomes literate and beautiful.
