16 pagesDate: April 4, 2024

Abstract

Music is an element constantly present in our society, regardless of time or location. Archaeological evidence reveals the possible existence of musical instruments in prehistoric times, showing a long-lasting relationship with music. Currently, studies have grown that indicate that musical practice (musical instrument training and singing) could generate effects that would benefit musicians. Such data gave rise to the hypothesis that musical training could be an interesting stimulus for cognitive and motor development. The aim of this study was to synthesize current evidence (last 10 years) on the influence of musical practice on motor and cognitive developments. A critical narrative review of the literature was carried out. Discuss the effects of musical training exposure in different age groups and the possible implications for neuropsychomotor development and motor rehabilitation.
