| Tone detection and self-regulation training can improve educational performance in children.聽 This experiment, in association with 鈥淭he Leading Note Foundation鈥�, is the first part of a musical training and socio-economic status experiment in children 5-18 years of age participating in an after-school music program. ERPs will be acquired while the participant is performing a mismatch negativity (MMN) task. 聽Participants will be screened for tone deafness using the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (Peretz, et al., 2003). The SES and musical training information will be correlated with the child鈥檚 educational progress to determine the impact of music programs. A second part of the study will examine tone-deafness to determine if, with weekly musical training, the tone deafness can be alleviated. 聽Further training will be provided in the after-school program and children will be tested using event-related potentials once every four-six months for one year. The third part of this study is to examine the genetic polymorphisms related to children’s emotional states and to relate this information to their musical training and socio-economic status. |
