Musical training as an alternative and effective method for neuro-education and neuro-rehabilitation

This review highlights the potential of musical training as a tool for neuro-education and neuro-rehabilitation. It shows that music enhances brain plasticity, benefiting motor, auditory, and cognitive systems. Long-term training can aid children with language impairments and improve speech processing, while therapeutic techniques like Music-Supported Therapy help stroke and Parkinson’s patients recover motor function. Listening to music is linked to emotional regulation and improved cognitive outcomes. The study underscores music's multimodal, low-cost value for both education and rehabilitation.

Incorporate musical activities into daily life to boost brain health. For children, learning an instrument may support language skills and cognitive growth. For adults, especially those recovering from neurological conditions like stroke, engaging in music-based therapies can improve motor skills and mood. However, the review emphasizes promising but varied evidence, so combining music with other therapies and tracking long-term impacts is recommended.
