Music and the Brain

Last week as part of the middle school Open House presentations, some of the music department faculty referenced recent research in the area of how music influences learning and brain development in children and adults. Beginning in October of 2008, the Library of Congress began a two year series of lectures and presentations on this area of research. Visit their website  http://www.loc.gov/rr/perform/concert/0809-musicandthebrain.html to access webcasts and podcasts on various topics relating to music and the brain.
