Sabe....just adding an interesting article i read after i watched "my brilliant" feature on national geo regarding the brain of a muscian.
Its no wonder that you can play and paint as a fine artist. here is a snippet on a Mark Yu article. The 7 yr old pianist. The research showed this
Stories like Marc's seem to defy logic, but science is beginning to shed light on the enigma of God-given talent.
Gottfried Schlaug started playing piano when he was seven years old. He could have had a career in music but, decided to become a neuroscientist instead. Gottfried has scanned the brains of dozens of professional musicians to work out how they produce the brain-power that music demands. He explains: "There's hardly any other skill, any other activity, that would involve this much brain real-estate. The right question would be: which parts of the brain are not active when playing a musical instrument?".
Musician's brains look like they're built for this job; several areas of the brain are bigger than normal. One of them is the cerebellum which takes up only 10% of brain volume but contains more nerve cells than the rest of the brain. This tiny organ works harder and faster than any other part of the brain as it orchestrates thousands of muscle fibres in the body.
Another area of brain that is bigger in musicians is the corpus callosum, a strip of tissue connecting the two hemispheres. It's a mission-critical organ in a pianist who needs to precisely synchronise the movements of the left and the right hand sides of the body. But why are musician's brains different? Are they born or made?
