Abstract
This review examines the genetic influences on individual differences in musical abilities and behavior. It begins by outlining behavior genetic research methods, including twin studies and genotype data analysis, and then reviews the field of music genetics, covering twin studies and the initial molecular genetic studies of music-related traits. The review then discusses the broader applications of twin and genotype data, illustrating how these methods are used to analyze causality and gene-environment interplay in music skills. The research highlights the importance of studying both environmental and genetic factors and their interactions in shaping musical abilities.
