CIENTÍFICOS ASEGURAN QUE LOS MÚSICOS POSSEN MENTES MÁS AGUDAS – ESCOCIA – R.U.by Harley Jones |
 |
 Tocar un instrumento musical puede ayudarnos en la lucha contra la demencia o la pérdida de memoria a través de los años, según un reciente estudio. Los músicos tenemos mentes más agudas, más despiertas, trabajamos más la memorización, el razonamiento, matemáticas, etc. Según la St. Andrews University los músicos resolvemos con mayor facilidad problemas cotidianos.Se midió la respuesta cerebral a problemas sencillos en músicos y no músicos. El resultado fue favorable para los músicos:Mayor habilidad, efectividad y rapidez. La investigación fue liderada por la psicóloga Ines Jentzsch, profesora de la Escuela de Psicología y Neurociencia, quien asegura: “Nuestro estudio muestra como niveles moderados de actividad musical pueden beneficiar el funcionamiento cerebral”. Y continúa: “nuestros descubrimientos pueden tener importantes implicaciones en el tratamiento de la pérdida de memoria degenerativa o la depresión, entre otras enfermedades mentales. La investigación sugiere que la actividad musical puede ser usada como un arma para ralentizar o revertir determinados tipos de enfermedad mental” El estudio se publica en la revista Neuropsichologia. Dr. Jentzsch: “La actividad puede no solo enriquecer inmensamente nuestras vidas sino que se han descubiertos beneficios asociados para nuestra psicología y funcionamiento mental” Harley Jones escribe: “Este es un importante estudio el cual las diferentes asociaciones en torno al acordeón deben promocionar, tanto entre sus miembros como de cara al público. Creo firmemente que el acordeón probablemente sea el mejor instrumento para potenciar nuestra mente debido a la combinación entre trabajo físico y mental, la diferencia de organización del sonido entre los dos manuales y otros muchos motivos como el trabajo en agrupaciones”. Desde esta plataforma recomendamos encarecidamente a los padres de todo el mundo que animen y orienten a sus hijos para tocar un instrumento musical. Éste puede ser el acordeón, por supuesto, pero puede ser también cualquier otro, los beneficios a medio plazo serán similares, amén de suponer el adiestramiento musical un plus en nuestra educación y nuestra cultura. Aprende música y serás más feliz. |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending October 1st 1999 included a report from Finland about a forthcoming large scale cruise for accordionists. Such a cruise must have been nirvana for those on board this ship. Cruises for accordionists have nowadays become more commonplace, sailing happily and musically around the Arctic regions, and in the warmer climates of the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The Finnish cruise has maintained its huge popularity and is still being held annually on the largest ship of the region. Great Accordion Cruise - Finland Contributed by Kimmo Mattila (pictured) The Finnish Accordion Association have organized a ‘Great Accordion Cruise’ on March 5th and 6th 2000.

 A new musical The Last Ship will soon sail onto a Broadway stage after a stop in Chicago. Producers announced that the show, inspired by Sting's memories of growing up in a shipbuilding community in northeast England, will appear on Broadway in the fall of 2014 after it makes its world premiere next summer at Chicago's Bank of America Theatre.The musical has a story by Red playwright John Logan and Next to Normal writer Brian Yorkey. It will be directed by Joe Mantello, who directed Wicked and have choreography by Steven Hoggett, who did the same for Once. The move comes amid a surge in singer-songwriters from the worlds of pop and rock aiming for theater stages. Sting is joining a list that includes Cyndi Lauper, Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Edie Brickell, David Byrne, Fatboy Slim, Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello. The Last Ship will come on the heels of Sting's wife Trudie Styler's off-Broadway debut as actress and producer. She will star as the fading actress Irina Arkadina in an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull at the Culture Project. Sting, a 16-time Grammy Award winner and former lead singer of The Police who was born in Newcastle, has just released his latest album called The Last Ship, inspired by the forthcoming musical. The Last Ship is the eleventh studio album by English musician Sting, released on 24 September 2013. It is his first release of original material since his 2003 album Sacred Love. It's a collection of songs for the original play about the destruction of the shipping industry in Newcastle, the English port city where he grew up, as well as a meditation on mortality, community and fatherhood. It will explore the themes of homecoming and self-discovery, drawing upon Sting's memories of growing up, and reminiscing universal truths – the complexity of relationships, the passage of time and the importance of family and community. The album features guest artists with roots in the northeast of England, including Brian Johnson from AC/DC, Jimmy Nail, The Unthanks, The Wilson Family and Kathryn Tickell and melodeon artist Julian Sutton, who features throughout the album. Brought up in the well-known musical hotbed of Newcastle upon Tyne, Julian has been playing melodeon for longer than he cares to remember. He is probably best known for playing in a band with the renowned Northumbrian piper and composer Kathryn Tickell, with whom he has been working since 1998. He also has a growing reputation as a fairly decent accompanist of traditional song, having recorded and performed with amongst others Scottish singer and songwriter Karine Polwart, The Unthanks, Nuala Kennedy, and multi-award winning Barnsley songstress Kate Rusby. From time to time Julian steps out of his comfort zone in order to work with musicians from beyond the folk sphere. Recent projects have involved performing alongside classical percussionist Evelyn Glennie, jazz saxophonist Andy Sheppard, Norwegian brass legends the Brazz Brothers and Anglo-Indian tabla master Juljit Bhamra. his most exciting music adventure to date has been recording with fellow Geordie and celebrated musician Sting for the project 'If On a Winter's Night' and now 'The Last Ship'. Other on-going musical adventures include The Auvo Quartet (an Anglo-Finnish group rotted in traditional music with a wide range of other influences), the Wendigo (with Stephen Tyler and Anne-Marie Summers of medieval music duo Misericordia) and most recently a duo with French bagpiper Fabrice Besson, playing new compositions influenced by English and French traditional music. He current teaches at The Sage Gateshead Music Education Center. |
