福TextSo, can anyone learn to sing? I am still not sure, but Idid learn more about singing by spending a year trying todo it than in years reading about it. By understanding justhow remarkably difficult it is to sing - to simultaneouslyand unconsciously manage pitch, rhythm, timbre, toneand dynamics - I am even more mystified as to whyhumans have evolved such an amazing ability.Translation

一Text人人都是歌唱家考古学家史蒂文·米森在学习唱歌的时候发现,音乐确实可以改变人的思维方式。人人都能学会唱歌吗?在撰写我最新出版的《唱着歌的尼安德特人》一书时,这个问题就一直索绕在我的心头。我做的研究让我相信音乐才能是深深植根于人类基因中的,从进化史的角度来说,它比人类的口头语言都要古老得多。可是我本人一唱起歌来不是跑调,就是跟不上节奏。朋友们和学术同僚们都说,那都是因为我小时候对音乐失去了兴趣,只要上几节音乐课,我一定能放声歌唱。也许他们是对的。记得小时候,音乐老师们让我在全班同学面前独“唱”,让我觉得很丢脸。所以后来一有机会,我就躲开音乐,35年来从来没有参加过任何音乐活动。说不定学一学我也能唱得不错。Text

Text我越想就越觉得这是个不容错过的好机会。除了看看能不能改善我的音调、音高和节奏感之外,或许我还能发现学习唱歌的时候大脑会有什么样的变化。最近读了英国谢菲尔德大学研究员拉里·帕森斯的一篇文章,题目是“人类大脑中的歌唱系统”,后来又在一次会上见到了他。More...Text

Text那时候他已经开始用功能磁共振成像来确定人在从事音乐活动时大脑中被调动起来的区域。这些区域中有一些显然既在音乐活动,又在其他活动中起作用,而另一些,比如叶中颇上回的前部,似乎是专门用于处理音乐的。我很想知道学唱歌是否真的能改变大脑的活动方式。Text
