4. Why does playing an instrument help your maths?

Music lessons will let you develop your sense of rhythm, which will help your study of math. Or: Music lessons will make you more intelligent.Do you ever worry about taking exams? Do you sometimes forget what you have studied? How many times have you studied English words only to forget them the next day? Music may be able to help you. Some researchers have shown that if you listen to classical music, especially Mozart, while studying, it will improve your ability to remember. Listening textThis is called the “Mozart effect.” Does it work with all kinds of music? Researchers have tried it with other kinds of music such as pop and country, but they don’t seem to have the same effect. It seems that the rhythms of classical music help develop one’s memory. However, the improved memory only last a short time.What can you do to improve your intelligence over a long period of time? It seems that learning to play an instrument is helpful, especially for improving maths skills. Scientists think this is because the area of our brain that calculates rhythm is also the place where we store our maths knowledge. So, if you want to become more intelligent, go to a music class!Listening task on P72has a patternMozartoperamathematicalBach choral musicClassical music does not have words. It tries to describe feelings with notes and instruments. It is called classical music because it was written at a time when there was no country, pop or rock music. The music had to be very carefully composed to fit a special pattern. Listening textOnly the cleverest musicians could compose beautiful music with this pattern. Mozart was one of these special composers. He began to write his own music when he was very young. His father was a musician and he encouraged his son to play music. Mozart played so well that he became very famous while he was still a young boy. He always had the most wonderful music in his head. When he grew older he wrote music for operas which told stories in music. Some people think he is the greatest composer that has ever lived. ( Example of Mozart’s music.)Another very important classical composer was Bach. He was not famous in his lifetime but became very famous after his death. He worked as the music master in a small church and had to write new songs to sing every week.He also composed music for people to listen to as they left the church at the end of the service. Some of his music is very mathematical, with different parts that repeat each other in a very peaceful way. All his music was written for God and some of is very moving.He never became a rich man but his music has special place in classical music. (Example of a Bach fugue play on the organ.)
