You have additional support from the finding that in non musicians, there is a right hemisphere advantage for music while in trained musicians, this shifts to the left hemisphere: it is "lingufied"
OF course the right hemisphere has an ability to read single words and remains the seat of prosody (roughly the equivalent of rhythm).
