Scientists claim that the result of the game on the piano is not only magical music. As shown by a new study at the piano playing helps children to develop their language skills.
"There is evidence that the impact of the game on the piano at an early age improves the processing of sounds that applies not only to music but also to the question, "- says neurologist John Gabrieli of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Scientists are quite sure that the lessons
piano help strengthen the baby handling skills and language skills. This is due to the fact that children's ears get used to distinguish between different sounds of a musical instrument, explains John, and as a result, they are better able to feel the difference between vygovorennymi words, which is a key element of the study language.
The study, which was attended by 74 Chinese children aged 4-5 years, children were divided into three groups. All the children spoke Mandarin language (a dialect of Chinese). In one group, a weekly 45-minute lesson piano. In the second - 45 minutes of additional reading, the third no additional sessions have been conducted.
After 6 months between children in different groups was no significant difference in these rates as memory, attention, IQ, but the kids who learned to play the piano had an interesting difference. Even in comparison with children who read more, they are much better distinguish between the sounds of spoken language, including delimit the words in which there was only one consonant, says the scientist. In the group in which read, it fared better than in the group without any additional training.
Therefore, scientists believe that piano lessons promote the study of the native language and foreign language, as are complex elements of speech processing. Gabrielle admits that the research results will be valid in relation to other musical instruments.
