【摘要】：威廉希尔app 整理了有很多家长为了能让自己的孩子更聪明，让孩子学习音乐提高智力，专家表明成绩优异的孩子很有可能学习音乐乐器或先天的天分，并非学音乐就可以助于提高智力。
‘Music may change you a bit, but it’s also the case that different children take music lessons,’ said Professor Schellenberg of the University of Toronto, who added that parents’ education was the most influential factor on musicality.
‘Children who take music lessons come from families with higher incomes, they come from families with more educated parents, they also do more extra-curricular activities, they have higher IQs, and they do better at school.’
In tests on 167 children who played piano or other instruments, they found their answer to personality tests could predict how likely it was for them to continue their music lessons.
Those who were more outgoing and conscientious were more likely to continue to play.
‘We were motivated by the fact that kids who take music lessons are particularly good students, in school they actually do better than you would predict from their IQ, so obviously something else is going on,’ Professor Schellenberg told the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual conference in Boston.
多伦多大学的舍伦贝格教授说：“音乐也许能让你有些改变，但是实际情形是，学音乐的小孩本就不同。”他补充说，父母的教育是对音乐才能最重要的影响因素。
“上音乐班的小孩来自收入更高的家庭，他们的父母受教育程度更高，他们参加的课外活动也更多，而且他们的智商也更高，在学校的成绩也更好。”
研究人员对167个弹钢琴或其他乐器的小孩进行了性格测试，发现从他们的回答可以预测出他们继续学音乐的可能性。
那些性格更外向、更认真的小孩更可能继续弹奏乐器。
舍伦贝格教授在波斯顿举行的美国科学促进会年会上说：“我们因为上音乐班的小孩学习成绩特别好的事实而受到鼓舞，实际上这些小孩在学校的学习成绩超出了他们的智商让人产生的预期，所以显然还有其他一些因素在起作用。”
他说：“无疑学音乐会改变大脑，但是学习其他任何东西也会这样。事实上，学习本就如此。”
