Understanding Brain Function in Music Print E-mail

Understanding Brain Function at Our Perth Music School

A human brain consists of billions of neurons which are present at birth. When thinking, different groups of brain cells –neurons are activated. These groups are linked by the cerebrospinal fluid and work together in an extremely complex way to form a network.

How a Piano Class Can Develop a “Child Prodigy”

What differentiates a “child prodigy“ from an average child is number of linkages between the neurons. The greater number of neurons linked by the cerebrospinal fluid forming a network means an increase in density of the brain functions. This increase then facilitates and speeds up learning and problem solving processes.
“Network thinking” requires the use and connection of the right and left brains, the cerebellum, the spinal cord and the nervous system to function well together.

Illustration of Our Perth Music School’s Benefits for the Brain

Let’s illustrate this in a simple way:  

  • If only the right brain is being used, music becomes mere "picking" of keys which is the simplest form of music.
  • If only the left side of the brain is being used, music turns into mathematics.
  • If only the cerebellum is being used, music turns into gymnastics (physical activity).
  • Without the spinal cord (associated with courage and boldness) there will be a lack of “power”, in expression.
  • Without a well-developed nervous system, we would not be able to co-ordinate and play fast pieces well.

When the left brain and right brain is mentioned, it involves activating all the parts within each side, i.e. the front, middle, back, upper, lower, etc. groups of brain cells and parts of the cerebrum. Not only are all parts to be activated, it also encompasses forming a network of cells in the greatest possible combination. Einstein wasn't endowed with his intelligence at birth, it developed at later stages. This is a fact that has been proven through chemical research in brain science laboratories.

Different cultures and music from different nations use distinct groups of brain cells, and by playing music from different countries one uses and trains entirely parts of the brain.
