Abstract

The interesting study by Watanabe and Takeda (2023) found a significant association between musical affinity and physiological characteristics of piano students. However, several issues limit the reliability of their work and make a sensitive interpretation of their results rather premature. This commentary discusses three main limitations of the study and suggests possible solutions to be implemented in future research.
