LEFT BRAIN
Core Intelligence
Certain aspects of language and melody have been shown to be processed
in near identical functional brain areas. There are neurologically
structural similarities between music and language. Studies have shown

identical functional brain areas. also, Syntactical information
mechanisms in both music and language have been shown to be processed similarly in the brain. All this goes to show that learning to play music is far more reaching than just the shear enjoyment of create wonderful sounds to be enjoyed by all
