This is very interesting...I saw it on one site and then lost it. I looked again googling "paul moses" and schizophrenia and there are like two/three pages about it on the internet.
Basically Paul Moses was some kind of throat/vocal cord doctor in the 50's. In the late 50's he discovered that his schizophrenic patients had flat, rhythmic voices rather than melodic ones. He introduced music therapy to them and changed their way of speaking, and managed to reduce his patient's symptoms by 50% or something like that. what do you think?
 
Can you give an example of a melodic speaking voice? I would have thought accents would play a big part in that, someone from Shetland would sound a lot more melodic than someone from Manchester.
 
I haven't a clue, it was just a fact thrown in on a random website I found.
