SUMMARY:

Despite innate talent, musical competence depends on specific training. For most musicians, auditory perception, instrumental motor skills, and musical cognition only develop after a significant investment of time, in addition to physical and mental effort. This inversion is believed to result in modifications of the neural circuits associated with music learning. Recent studies suggest that sleep is essential for the consolidation of new learning. However, no study has evaluated the relevance of sleep in the formation of implicit memory, for example, associated with the performance of a musical instrument. Thus, this research seeks to assess the contribution of sleep to musical learning, in this case the French horn, at two different times. First, we will use a specific technical-interpretive training protocol for horn players. The exercises will be performed by two groups of volunteers, one who will perform the musical training before bedtime (night sleep) and another who will do it in the morning (after waking up). The musical performance will be quantified over three weeks of training, with a duration of approximately 15 minutes per day for the study, evaluating the following attributes: Sound, Tuning, Articulation, Fingering and Rhythm. The methodology of this research is configured by performing the following steps: (1) the review of the literature that relates music and neuroscience, musical training, and sleep was consolidated as the first methodological stage; (2) composition of specific exercises to study and analyze the technical processes of horn players during musical training and relate them to the different responses of the instrumentalist; (3) data collection using the ASR Recorder audio acquisition application in Waveform Audio File Format (WAV); and (4) analysis of the data obtained. We believe that this research will contribute to the understanding of the importance of sleep for musical learning. We hope that our results can contribute to the development of studies on musical training methodologies, with advantages for musical performance, as well as enriching the interdisciplinary field between music and neurosciences.
