Brains of jazz and classical musicians work differently, study reveals - Classic FM
Miles Davis is not Mozart: The brains of jazz and classical pianists work differently
A study published by the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI CBS), has found that musicians who work in the two fields demonstrate substantially different brain activity, even when they're playing the same music.
A very interesting study. I've always thought of myself as more classical than jazz and this study maybe explains why. I do tend to lean towards the need to be prepared rather than just wing it. I feel more comfortable with sheet music than playing by ear.
What are your thoughts?
