The nineties is the decade for the news spread about the influence of music on the brain. Everyone seems to be on the 'Mozart effect to ask, "particularly what is and how to take your child to complete. It 's definitely an exciting time, a music teacher and a parent. We are finally able to see that documented research shows that music is an integral part of the growth of a child, and use this information to help our children reach their full potential. What we want moreParents give our children the tools necessary to become happy, well adjusted, intelligent people?
Unfortunately, as the most popular theories, the 'Mozart effect "was attenuated in an effort by some people to make more money at public expense. You can go to any bookstore and buy today a "Mozart effect" books, videos, cassettes and even stickers.
In researching this article I have just that in several local music stores andon the Internet. I looked first in the music, and if I did not find any book on the subject, and went away with the children's section with my daughter for two years. Even apart from a mixed assortment of compact discs with music for the brain of children, I found nothing of real value for research. Curious, I went to the information desk, where I said that the 'Mozart effect' books, written by Don Campbell, had to be found in the "alternative medicine"! And they were all soldout. Who gave me my first inkling that something had happened on this very interesting topic. I decided to further research in the library and the Internet.
The term "Mozart effect" has come to simplify (performances of Don Campbell et al) a large body of research by neuroscientists and psychiatrists for the experimental study on the relationship between music and improved spatial intelligence. This is nothing to take lightly. Children are born with over 100 billion foreign or losenerve cells called neurons connected. Each child experiences that reinforce or even create connections between neurons. The streets, unused, die after a certain time to stay. Since neural connections are for each type of intelligence is to develop a child's brain to its full potential only when exposed to enriching experiences. E 'therefore important to determine the type of enrichment that connections between neurons to identify forged.
The music has clearly demonstratedImprovement of neurological connections responsible for spatial intelligence. Spatial intelligence is a kind of a person able to see patterns in space and time. And 'the ability to perceive the visual world accurately and to form mental images of physical objects. This intelligence is the music used for higher brain functions, such as math, puzzles to solve complex reasoning and chess. specialists in music for years said that their music students trained and involvedtend to be on top of their class, their classmates often not outscoring music in maths. Until recently, however, there was no way to prove unequivocally.
definitive studies have been conducted since early 1980 when Dr. Gordon Shaw and colleagues at the Trion model of the neural structure of the brain presented the National Academy of Sciences. By 1990 the team had shown by computer experiments that music pink Trion vital in the production of these modelsmapped musical tones. This study was important to note that a model could be music to see this music used functions, the creativity of higher learning, such as mathematics and chess, which are similar. By the year 1991 proposed by Shaw, that music could be called "pre-language" and early childhood music education major structures in the brain of cognitive exercises.
UCAL Irvine in 1993, Dr. Frances Rauscher, a Ph.D. Columbia Scientists and former concertCellist, Shaw is the team in the documentation of a pilot study of previous research, but it is time to apply their results to the people. This preliminary study showed that a group of university students temporarily improved their spatial-reasoning ability after listening to a Mozart sonata for 10 minutes. The same study in preschool children were used for continuous improvement.
Until 1997, the team Rauscher, Shaw had strong evidence for the benefits of music for childrenspatial intelligence. The team examined three groups of preschoolers. The first group received specialized musical education, particularly in lessons keyboard weeks, the second group received specialized training in the computer, the third group received no specific training at all. After several months of testing, the team found children with evidence of space activities. Those children who received keyboard lessons performed 34% better than children who had taken control of the computer orLessons or no lessons instead. And the effect of keyboard training was long, suggesting that their gender may have a learning "window" in early childhood, in which we can strengthen the connections of neurons always.
Other research has suggested the same - the musical training in early childhood helps even one child to develop the brain. In the winter issue of '95 Children's Connections (ECC), Dr. Edwin E. Gordon talks about Music Learning Windows. He says: "A child is nevera higher level of musical aptitude as the time of birth ... to achieve the potential of a child in music, it remains for life, which stabilizes at 9 years. Harvard Medical School's Dr. Gottfried Schlaug found (by magnetic resonance imaging of musicians who began training before the age of 7 years, started later, and non-musicians) that some brain regions the most important musicians, their education Music to be started before the age of 7 years.
Now we have a collection of scientific datasuggests that music teachers have been known for centuries - this is a definitive effect on the development of children.
So, what we do as parents to do with this information? Here are some suggestions:
Although at first listen, well structured and performed music such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and it is certainly great for exposure to the arts is not simply listen to music that the child develops the brain. All studies have shown that music TRAININGrequired. This means that children in early music lessons, while learning the music box is at its peak before the age of 9. piano lessons seem to be extremely useful, because the keyboard is symmetrical, balanced and logical.
According Help your child to music programs in local schools, churches, synagogues, etc. Here you can find qualified, well trained instructors, the music to new musical experiences to bring your child, it is also an appreciation for music in culture, history, and pureListening pleasure. Ask a quality music education for your children for life.
Third New to assess where the music is part of your home. Question of musical traditions and activities that, once a center of family life, mass entertainment does not require the participation of families have been replaced. Get off the couch to dance and sing on the floor, the tools to play with your child.
