Summary

Music has the enormous potential to engage and impact the entire brain. After all, the auditory system is the first to develop in utero. And, at the end of life, the last to go. 

With the advent of brain scanning and other recent research options, studies prove music’s positive effects on the human brain. Through narrative, current and relevant research, and an easy-to-understand format, authors Taylor and Hudson offer a glimpse into the how, the where and the why regarding the benefits of music on the brain. How can a person utilize music to better his or her life? By understanding more about the brain’s relationship to music. 

Anecdotes in Music on the Brain provide real-life examples. The Muse of Music adds her own touch. Grace Notes introduce points in the upcoming chapter. Beyond education, however, this book suggests a greater goal: to help you identify and own (or re-own) the many wonderful musical components living in your own brain. Whether performer, amateur, or informed and dedicated listener, discover how music can help you maximize your most important musical instrument—your brain.
