The difference is MASSIVE.
One part of the brain lights up when listening to music and all seven parts of the brain light up when performing music.
I can't paste the graphic here, but the following tells you how the brain uses all seven areas when performing music:
Performing music: There are few activities that require more of
the brain than performing music. It uses complex feedback systems that take in
information, such as pitch and melody, through the auditory cortex, and allow
the performer to adjust his, or her, playing (or singing).
1.
The visual cortex is
activated by reading — or even imagining — a score;
2.
the parietal lobe is
involved in a number of processes, including computation of vocal folds;
(voice)
3.
the motor cortex helps
control body movements;
4.
the sensory cortex is
stimulated with each touch of the voice;
5.
the premotor area
remains somewhat mysterious, but somehow helps perform movements in the correct
order and time;
6.
the frontal lobe plans
and coordinates the overall activity;
7.
and the cerebellum helps
create smooth, integrated movements.
