Michael Jackson was on to something when he sang that "A-B-C" is "simple as 'Do Re Mi.'" Music helps kids remember basic facts such as the order of letters in the alphabet, partly because songs tap into fundamental systems in our brains that are sensitive to melody and beat.
That's not all: when you play music, you are exercising your brain in a unique way.
The connection between music and the brain is the subject of a symposium at the Association for Psychological Science conference
in Chicago this weekend, featuring prominent scientists and
Grammy-winning bassist Victor Wooten. They will discuss the remarkable
ways our brains enable us to appreciate, remember and play music, and
how we can harness those abilities in new ways.
There
are more facets to the mind-music connection than there are notes in a
major scale, but it's fascinating to zoom in on a few to see the
extraordinary affects music can have on your brain.
