Ana Mercedes Vernia, lecturer in the Area of Didactics of Musical Expression at the Universitat Jaume I, gave a talk entitled "The benefits of music" at the Caixa Rural de Burriana, where she highlighted the contributions made by this area to aspects such as improving attention and learning, or movement and coordination. The talk is included in the Burriana Town Council's MEPA project (Musical Education for Adults) coordinated by her.

Vernia explained that the benefits of a healthy diet and physical activity are well known, and she defended that music is a very important element as well, as it nourishes body and mind and allows for an active and fit brain and body. "Music and movement are already the most recommended medicine for social and personal well-being. Therefore, enjoying music in an active way is fundamental", she said.

The UJI lecturer listed some of the benefits that music brings: improves attention and learning, movement and coordination; increases IQ; keeps the brain fit; reduces blood pressure; improves creativity and imagination; strengthens the immune system; improves neural connections; speeds recovery from a stroke and increases the ability to memorize.
