This begs the question of nature versus nurture, but either can affect brain organization. Musicians are intensively trained, and hear things differently in a physiological sense compared to non-musicians.Accuracy of pitch perception varies among both groups. My wife was trained as a musician and has better pitch perception than I do. However, I find that I cannot get around the pitch distortion of eccentric analog discs. The slower the music, and the better the recorded musicians, the worse this problem affects my ability to enjoy the performance.
