Music is an integral part of human life... music is not simply a distraction or a pastime, but central to our identity and evolution as a species. Levitin, 2006, revealed how music influences cognition by calling attention to powerful ways music is harnessed in advertising, films, ceremonies, and everyday human interactions. Humans create music and art in order to represent ideas that are important in life. Music plays an important and ongoing role in shaping people’s cognitive, social, and cultural understandings, which in turn, influences how people navigate their lives.
Individual musical development is shaped by a range of cognitive, social and cultural factors that remain fluid and are constantly changing. Over the lifespan, musical development is characterized by time related changes in musical abilities, motivations, functions and musical activities. Older non professional musicians have unused musical potential, which can be activated at any time through learning and practice. While information processing speed, memory or problem solving begin to decrease during the third decade of life, these changes are typically offset by knowledge, experience, and social skills, which tend to increase during later years.
