Amusia (lack of musical ability) due to loss of motor music function; the patient can understand tunes, and, further, can imagine tunes in his head, but he can not sing them.

OBS

This shows a close connection in locality between motor speech and motor music function, while a slight separateness of the two centres in locality in the left hemisphere explains cases of motor aphasia in which execution is preserved.
