The relation between working memory and musical skills

Abstract

The working memory is necessary important work for a person in living. Previous study shown the relation between the quantity of experiment of playing musical instruments and working memory. But it was not clear which musical skills relate working memory. We measured the relation between the ability of musical skills and working memory. As a result, we could find the strong relation between some skills (sense of absolute pitch, relative pitch hearing, and solfege) and working memory. In our future study, we will increase the number of subjects to make clear the relation between musical skills and working memory more accurately.
