     Let’s say you took violin lessons all through primary school, but you haven’t got the instrument out of its case in years. Were all those lessons a waste of your parents’ money because you didn’t become a great violinist?
     Not at all. Even though it has been a long time since you played the violin, a new study shows that as little as one year of music training can have a positive influence (影响) on your brain that will last the rest of your life.
     In an experiment comparing (比较)children who had taken music lessons to those who hadn’t, Lanrel Tiniest, a researcher of the Institute for Music and the Mind at Ontario’s MeMaster University, diseoveted that the musically trained kids had larger brain responses (反应)to the sound recognition (分辨)exams. Traitor’s findings tell the possibility that musical training can actually change the brain’s bearing cortex (皮层), leading to better overall learning skills.
     The study’s results point out that “musical training（but not necessarily passive (被动)listening to music）influences attention and memory, which makes a possibility that musical training might lead to better learning across a number of fields.” Trainer said in a report.
     The effects (效果)of music training are even more easily seen in children with difficulties on language. “A music training that can strengthen the hearing skills of children who have difficulty in reading may also help improve some of their language abilities,” said Gottfried Schlang, who has also studied music training and learning.
     So, whether or not you can play a Tchaikovsky symphony part, it’s likely that your years of music lessons prepared your brain for all the speeches, emails, and conversations that are part of your life today. To help make sure that kids today have the same chances for music inspired (激发)brain development, help out by volunteering with or giving away instruments to your school’s music training department.
