Merriam Music and University of Toronto Research Partnership

Merriam Music is Currently Participating in a Research Study Being Conducted by Dr. Schellenberg’s Team at UTM.

 

There continues to be a significant level of research on how our brains process, and potentially benefit from, the experience of music-making.  Many leading institutions are currently conducting research into how music may enhance the development of our brains in a variety of ways.  Dr. Glenn Schellenberg, part of the Department of Psychology at the University Of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) is a leading researcher in the psychological effects and impacts of music.

Merriam Music has been selected several times by various research bodies as a collaborator; by request, we have made our students, curriculum, various teaching methods and structures, and staff available for study projects.  Merriam Music is currently participating in a research study being conducted by Dr. Schellenberg’s team at UTM.

The Project

Instrumental music is often considered to be a language of sorts. There is much debate, however, about the association between music and language. Some scholars believe that the two domains share processing resources even though musical memories (tunes) may be stored separately from language memories (words) in the brain. Other scholars believe that music and language are largely separable in terms of brain structure and function, except for the obvious fact that the auditory system plays a major role in both domains.

In some instances, music is known to be a useful tool in the rehabilitation of patients who have impaired use of language.

Melodic intonation therapy is one such example. in the present research, we are examining whether musical expertise in typically developing children is associated with language abilities.

We consider musical expertise to be a consequence of innate ability (music aptitude) and formal experience with music (music lessons).

We want to determine whether music aptitude and/or music lessons are predictive of language use, including speech perception, grammatical knowledge, and reading comprehension.

If and when such associations are evident, we then ask whether these represent a special link between music and language, or, alternatively, whether they are simply the consequence of general cognitive ability.

Dr. Glenn Schellenberg’s Work

I am a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto. I run the Music & Cognition Lab at theUniversity of Toronto Mississauga campus.

My primary research area focuses on cognitive developmental issues in the auditory domain. I am especially interested in music perception and cognition, particularly in reciprocal influences between basic psychological processes and musical structures. I am also interested in the cognitive (nonmusical) consequences of formal music lessons and music listening. Basic research questions examine memory for music, typically melodies, and how mental representations of melodies contain both abstract/relational information that defines the melodies, as well as information about specific renditions, such as their key, tempo, and timbre.

Other research focuses on associations between musical expertise and nonmusical abilities, particularly speech perception and linguistic ability. We consider musical expertise as a consequence of formal training in music and/or natural musical ability (music aptitude). We are also interested in emotional responding to music, in terms of the specific emotions music evokes as well as listeners’ preferences for certain pieces or genres.
