Learning a New Song? Sleep on it.

Research from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas has found that we can learn new songs (or any tasks) faster and better by simply sleeping.

Performance of a musical task improved among pianists whose practice of a new melody was followed by a night of sleep.

The study found, however, that when two similar melodies were practiced one after the other, followed by sleep, any gains in speed and accuracy achieved during practice diminished overnight.

The research is conducted by Dr. Sarah E. Allen and will be published in the journal Psychology of Music.
