Are you the diva who silently plays with her mobile phone in the dead corner of the KTV private room and only smiles on her back in the chorus of drinking too much wine?
Do you think you are tuning every word when singing, but your friend looks at your soul singer with sympathetic eyes after listening?
You, perhaps, have long heard of amusia and proudly classified yourself as one of the few mental derangements that have been blessed by God?
However, is it really a how experience to suffer from loss of pleasure? It’s not as simple as [I was born to sing out of tune]. Some of them are bizarre and almost weird.
So, why on earth is it that people are not full of five tones?
I was born to sing out of tune?
Before we gloriously call ourselves a patient with loss of music, we have to make it clear that loss of music is what. In short, it is actually:
Losing music means losing the normal cognitive function of music.
It will be more complicated to strictly classify loss of music.
We should all be healthy people, and we should not have experienced stroke or head damage, so we will not mention the poor cases caused by acquired brain injury (for example, a German musician who was able to play the melody he heard on the violin after his right brain injury in 1870, but could not play it on the piano).
People who have no history of brain injury and have no problems with other cognitive functions (including environmental sounds and voice) will also lose happiness, namely patients with congenital amusia.
This kind of patients will account for about 4% of the total population, which is not small.
They may not be saved.
What are the symptoms of loss of music?
In short, the most basic elements of music include:
Pitch (shivering), rhythm (moving and playing), timbre (flute playing and people’s singing), etc.
They combine to form:
- Interval: The pitch relationship between two tones, some in harmony and pleasant to the ear ([Duo] and [Zuo]), others out of harmony and harsh to the ear ([Mi] and [Fa]). Melody: Tones of different pitches appear in an organized rhythm ([Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng
Normal people who grow up under general social conditions can recognize whether the two pitches, rhythm, timbre and melody are the same, whether the intervals are in harmony, and whether a certain pitch is in harmony with a melody or tone (in or out of tune).
In terms of rhythm, even animals with pronunciation learning ability, such as parrots or dolphins, can jump up a segment with bows and bows to the beat.
However, even if patients with congenital loss of music have received many years of training, they will still have problems in recognizing these musical elements, such as:
- Aphasia: Near pitches basically sound the same. Beat deafness: I can’t hear the rhythm. Interestingly, Without music, Only the rhythm (such as the metronome) is left. Some patients can also find the beat. In other words, She can tap dance, Can do radio gymnastics, You can shout the labor trumpet and swing the pickaxe. But whenever the music sounded, Is a face of stupid. Lost melody (amelodia): All the songs basically sound the same. In other words, China Music Library, Western Music History, Ali Planet, Netease Cloud Village, Faye Wong and Yue Se Han Pang Mailang… All add up, It’s all the same, a lump, terrible, noise. Dissonance, imbalance: the harsh sound of dissonance, the dissonance (not on the tone) for a certain melody or tone. Dystimbria: Chopin’s Mazurka sounds like the industrial noise of smashing pots and selling iron that Blixa Bargeld of the band “Collapsed New Buildings” is good at.
The above-mentioned problems may occur alone, for example, a person who does not play the right beat has a high clear sound, while a person who has a high clear sound cannot recognize the melody or dissonance. It is more likely to overlap, on the same person:
An American patient with such misfortune actually went to an opera. According to her, it was all like screaming! ]
Why is there happiness?
Neurological basis research on congenital dysplasia is in progress.
To put it very simply, It is the auditory cortex of the right hemisphere (on the right side of the head) that processes pitch, tonality and harmony. Rhythm is processed not only by the auditory cortex of the left hemisphere, but also by the right hemisphere, as well as by the motor cortex (on the top of the head), cerebellum, etc. Processing more abundant music information also involves more complex brain structures and neural pathways (such as those related to memory or emotion).
These hardware abnormalities cause various congenital loss of music. For example, in a structure called the inferior frontal gyrus in the right hemisphere, patients here have less white matter, more gray matter and thicker cortex than normal people. This may affect the development of neural pathways related to music.
For example, when hearing large pitch changes, the discharge of some subcortical structures in the patient’s brain is twice that of normal people, but when hearing small pitch changes, there is no response.
Since no one likes the anatomical terms of auditory nerve and cannot remember them after listening, we will not elaborate on them.
Now, are you still sure you are suffering from loss of pleasure?
Before the final diagnosis, you may have noticed something wrong:
After half a day’s talk, why can’t congenital loss of pleasure recognize this or that? ! We often say out of tune! Out of tune! The five tones are not complete! It’s all about singing! Not even mentioned it! Do they belong to loss of pleasure?
Singing out of tune, is it a loss of music?
Indeed, unlike acquired loss of music, which has a long history, congenital loss of music is a new field in recent ten years. Research focuses on the disorder of music perception function (i.e. [input], such as listening to songs), but seldom involves the disorder of music expression function (i.e. [output], such as singing).
However, as far as the latter is concerned, there is a concept still under discussion, called “poor-pitch singers”.
Leaving aside the temporary mistakes of [out of tune], this concept is almost equivalent to [out of tune] or [out of tune] in the most commonly used sense.
We are often encouraged by the words:
As long as your ears are naturally fine and you can recognize that you are out of tune, you will be saved! Practice your voice well and choose the right song for your range, then you will definitely not go out of tune!
In other words, as a singer with poor intonation, if our perception of music is normal, we can distinguish pitches, have a sense of harmony, and perhaps with correct training, we can even sing < < Qinghai-Tibet Plateau > >! “
Unfortunately, research shows that there are still a handful of people in human beings who have normal ears, wide sound range and good memory. They have all three functions, but they are still out of tune.
This is because the above reason ignores the fourth cognitive function, that is, the coordination of the two functions of perceiving music and expressing music. Just like basketball players who know where the basket is and can throw it, but they can’t-they know that they should sing what and can sing it, but they can’t sing it right!
With proper training, [singers with poor intonation] account for about 10% to 15% of the total population, which is not small.
They are also hopeless.
Huang Jinguo, the music country, closed the door to 4% of patients with congenital loss of music.
The gentle village of singing has closed the door to 10%-15% of the imperfect pentatonic who cannot be trained well.
If we don’t belong to them, why are we not complete?
You think, why?
