Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes. 41. Here, we look at two examples.
Music and hearing
A recent study shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. 42. The people in the first group who are well-trained musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
43. Think about violinists in an orchestra. When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many other sounds. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Music and speaking
Schlaug works with stroke(中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their own name, address, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped the patients to speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of their brain work, including the damaged(损坏的) parts. 44.
In conclusion, music improves concentration(注意力), memory, listening skills and our overall language abilities. 45. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp(敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways.
