The difficulties have been shown to stem from a phonological core deficit that impacts reading comprehension, memory and prediction abilities (Flaugnacco, 2014). It was shown that music training modified reading and phonological abilities even when these skills are severely impaired.
Implicit memory centers on the 'how' of music and involves automatic processes such as procedural memory and motor skill learning – in other words skills critical for playing an instrument. Samson and Baird (2009) found that the ability of musicians with Alzheimer's Disease to play an instrument (implicit procedural memory) may be preserved.
Studies have shown that the Kodály method improves intonation, rhythm skills, music literacy, and the ability to sing in increasingly complex parts. [13]: 24 Outside music, it has been shown to improve perceptual functioning, concept formation, motor skills, and performance in other academic areas such as reading and mathematics. [13]: 25
Aural imagery (ear-playing and sight-singing improves sight-reading) Ability to keep the basic pulse, read, and remember rhythm; Awareness and knowledge of the music's structure and theory; Beauchamp identifies five building blocks in the development of piano sight-reading skills: [9] Grand-staff knowledge; Security within the five finger positions
Mentally stimulating behaviors such as reading, listening to music, praying, crafting and playing a musical instrument are beneficial for memory and thinking abilities, a new study noted.
Criticisms of music learning theory include Paul Woodford's concerns that the theory itself is a misnomer, and rather than a learning theory it is a "taxonomy of musical preconditions for critical thinking", [31] and that "rather than overwhelming younger students in the beginning stages of instruction by focusing only on the complexities of ...
Musical memory refers to the ability to remember music-related information, such as melodic content and other progressions of tones or pitches. The differences found between linguistic memory and musical memory have led researchers to theorize that musical memory is encoded differently from language and may constitute an independent part of the phonological loop.
