Playing a musical instrument or singing in a choir can improve brain function. Scientists talked about this Speech.
A recent study found that people with good musical skills had better memory and executive function (the ability to concentrate on tasks, plan for the future, and maintain self-control). This was true for people playing any instrument at any skill level. However, most participants had only played the instrument for a few years of their lives. At the same time, it was important whether they continued to play or quit music – in the second case, mental abilities were worse.
Scientists have found that choir singing can also improve executive functions, but not memory. This may be because regular interaction with choir members supports brain functions. There is strong evidence that participating in any social activity is beneficial for oneself. However, according to a new study, passively listening to music does not improve brain functions, contrary to previous experiments.
