转一篇刚刚看到的一篇关于小朋友学琴是否有益的文章
Can learning how to play an instrument benefit my child?
Yes, if he's at least 3 years old. That's when his brain circuits for music training begin to mature. And studies suggest that music lessons can increase brain power. One University of California at Irvine study shows that 3- and 4-year-olds who took piano lessons performed better on tests that measured their spatial-temporal reasoning (ability to to think in space and time) than those who didn't.
Study author Gordon Shaw says these kids may be able to learn complex math problems earlier than others who've had no musical training. The piano is a good instrument to start with, he adds, because kids don't have to master any special fingering, as they would with a guitar, violin, or other stringed instrument. Plus, the linear progression of the keys helps make the concept of music scales concrete.
Yet another study suggests that music lessons sharpen the mind, but it looked only at older children. Scientists at the Chinese University in Hong Kong, whose research was published in the journal Nature in 1998, say kids who have at least six years of music lessons before the age of 12 learn more words than those who go without. Researchers read 16-word lists three times to 60 girls. Those who had studied music for six years remembered more words than those who hadn't. Martin Gardiner of the Music School in Providence, Rhode Island, examined the effect of music and art lessons on a group of 5- to 7-year-olds who were considered "underperformers." According to the magazine The Economist, after seven months of lessons, they were tested on reading, writing, and math and found to have caught up with their peers in reading and writing, and surpassed them in math.
音乐和数学的关系一直在被讨论中。
说个题外话，我几个星期前在92.5FM早上10点的谈话节目里听到一个物理学家说他没法用语言来解释主持人的问题，但是这个问题可以用数学公式来说明，因为语言是模棱两可含义不清的。我那时候就在想，语言是带感情色彩的，所以语言解释不清的可以用数学公式来表达。可语言无法表达的感情，音乐却能表达。
再过几千年人类高度文明了，不知道会不会跳过语言，直接用音乐来表达感情，用数学公式来解释问题。 |
