One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction classes. The third group acted as controls, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.The class
12、es lasted for six months, after which the children were tested on their ability to tell words based on differences in tones, consonants （辅音）,or vowels （元音）.The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a
