The impact of making music on aural perception and language skills: A research synthesis

Abstract: This paper provides a synthesis of research on the relationship between music and language, drawing on evidence from neuroscience, psychology, sociology and education. It sets out why it has become necessary to justify the role of music in the school curriculum and summarizes the different methodologies adopted by researchers in the field. It considers research exploring the way that music and language are processed, including differences and commonalities; addresses the relative importance of genetics versus… Show more

“…Musicians indeed show enhanced cortical processing of pitch in speech compared to nonmusicians ( Magne et al, 2006 ; Besson et al, 2007 ; Musacchia et al, 2007 ; Kraus and Chandrasekaran, 2010 ). These and numerous other studies support the idea of cross-domain transfer between music and speech perception (see Hallam, 2017 for an extensive list). The present study focuses on the potential auditory processing advantages in pitch perception and auditory working memory ( Ott et al, 2011 ; Kühnis et al, 2013 ; Pinheiro et al, 2015 ; Dittinger et al, 2016 , 2017 , 2019 ) associated with music perception skills.…”

“…In order to understand music and speech, a listener needs to categorize sounds into meaningful units. For speech, perceptual skills are needed to distinguish sounds into separate vowels or consonants and for music into pitches ( Hallam, 2017 ). The auditory skills needed to process language are similar to those needed to discriminate between rhythms ( Lamb and Gregory, 1993 ), harmonies, and melodies ( Barwick et al, 1989 ; Lamb and Gregory, 1993 ; Anvari et al, 2002 ).…”

“…Estos resultados resaltan la importancia de áreas como la Educación Musical que, lamentablemente, han sido relegadas a un segundo plano en los actuales currículos decretados por las administraciones públicas (Aróstegui, 2016). Investigaciones en el ámbito de la neurociencia muestran su relevancia en el desarrollo de competencias que van más allá de lo puramente musical (Addessi et al, 2017;Hallam, 2017;Peñalba, 2017).…”

“…No obstante, en nuestro país, el valor otorgado a las enseñanzas musicales ha disminuido debido a las diversas reformas legislativas, que conceden más importancia a otras asignaturas como Lengua, Matemáticas o idiomas, al énfasis en la evaluación estandarizada, a la disminución de los recursos disponibles y a un enfoque inadecuado en la defensa de su relevancia (Aróstegui, 2016). Sin embargo, las últimas aportaciones en el ámbito de la neurociencia avalan que este tipo de educación promueve el desarrollo de competencias en el ser humano que van más allá de lo puramente musical (Addessi, Anelli, Benghi y Friberg, 2017;Hallam, 2017;Peñalba, 2017). Además, la situación mundial actual, derivada de la pandemia provocada por el virus SARS-CoV-2, ha resaltado la importancia de la música como una herramienta que permite superar y enfrentar la soledad y el aislamiento frente al que la sociedad se ha visto sometida (Levens, 2020).…”

“…Alguns desses estudos são considerados quasiexperimentais, visto que não distribuem aleatoriamente os participantes nos grupos de intervenção e de controle. Apesar dos estudos de intervenção serem capazes de fornecer uma poderosa evidência sobre o impacto de atividades musicais nas habilidades linguísticas-dada a sua capacidade de demonstrar relações de causalidade-a natureza das atividades musicais que promovam o desenvolvimento linguístico ainda não é bem compreendida (Hallam, 2017). Atividades musicais podem, por exemplo, focar na percepção de frequências sonoras (Deutsch, 1999), de padrões rítmicos (Hallam, 2018) ou mesmo de peculiaridades timbrísticas (Schafer, 2011), e é provável que diferentes focos de intervenções musicais tenham diferentes efeitos sobre o desenvolvimento da leitura e da escrita.…”
