Abstract

Aim: The study sought to investigate the impact of music upon learning bimanual coordination movements with different spatial and temporal elements. Methods: 60 male right-handed students with no previous experience in playing musical instruments were randomized in 6 equally sized groups. The first, second and third group pairs were assigned with symmetric, temporally different symmetric, and temporally similar asymmetric bimanual drawing exercises, respectively, The pretest consisted of performing a bimanual coordination task with 100 metronome tempos in 60 seconds. then, the subjects attended three training sessions on three consecutive days, the post- and retention tests were held on 48 hours later. Results: The results of analysis of variance showed that music with exercise improves bipolar movements in bipolar coordination tasks but does not have a positive effect on transferring these tasks in reverse. Conclusion: The results indicated that music accounted for significant performance improvement in symmetric bimanual drawing with similar and different temporal elements, Music improves bimanual coordination.
Key words: Bimanual Coordination, Music, motor learning
