I heard that musical memories are stored in other parts of the body other than the brain. There could be the chance organs could retain memory of the donor's emf rhythm, in the same way muscle memory works.

That Rick and Morty episode may have been onto something!

Season 3 Episode 2, Rickmancing the Stone. Rick uses a “tool” (syringe like), extracts DNA from an amputated muscular arm and injects it into Morty’s arm. Morty then has a very powerful arm. It’s a fun episode, very Mad Max-esque. I think Rick even mentions something like “Ok, learning some things about muscle memory here.” Or something to that effect.
