The connections between brain research and music have been ongoing for the past two decades, but there are actually a lot of different areas within the research, and it is easy to confuse them.

Firstly there is the area of music and the brain, which is about how we process music in our brains. Daniel Levitin wrote a great book called This is Your Brain on Music (http://daniellevitin.com/publicpage/books/this-is-your-brain-on-music/) which is all about how we process music.

Then there is the area of music therapy and the brain, which is about how we can use music to assist people who have had brain injuries, physical trauma or have been born with a disability, to improve their physical and cognitive function. It is also being used extensively with people who are suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Oliver Sacks wrote a great book called Musicophillia (http://musicophilia.com) and Norman Doige has a book on brain plasticity called The Brain that Changes itself (http://www.normandoidge.com/normandoidge.com/MAIN.html) that talks about the power of music therapy.

Then there is the area of music education and the brain, which is about how music learning can impact on general brain development in children and adults. In the research it is called music training and is generally understood to be the formal and sequential learning of music, through playing music as well as appreciating and listening to it. There are a number of research institutes that are working in this part of the field, the Dana Foundation (http://www.dana.org), the BRAMS Institute (http://www.brams.org/en/) and the Music, Mind and Wellbeing Institute (http://cmmw.unimelb.edu.au).

Keeping up with the research is tricky if you are not a neuroscientists. Here is a resource that can keep you up to date with the research,(https://www.facebook.com/BiggerBetterBrainsProject) and here is a list of the references that were used to support the writing of the script for this lesson.(http://www.anitacollinsmusic.com/films/)

Research into the nature of how the corpus callosum impacts on the brains functions, and how learning a musical instrument impacts on this, is ongoing. Recently, neuroscientists have dug deeper and found that changes in the corpus callosum may be dependent on the type of musical training a musician does and could be localized to the anterior corpus callosum. This area has shown an increase in bi-manual coordination (where the brain coordinates simultaneous multiple movements like using a knife and fork). Here is some of the latest research.

Sometimes it is hard to explain all of this research to someone else so here is a short video you can share with parents, teachers and students about how music education can enhance brain development.

Learning to sing or play a musical instrument can help disadvantaged children improve their reading skills, US research suggests.
 
Cool, thanks for the article/video.

I've been working on a string instrument for a year now, great fun and challenging - with miles still to go (without even being able to remember so many darn songs).

Concerning the brain, it reminded me of this article on Bees:

What's more, bee neurons are extraordinarily networked:

So this is what music can help with, or so it seems.

Awesome to hear you're playing an instrument, such a challenging and rewarding process, my advice/2 cents would be, try to create something of your own, see what happens :cool2:

I've always found music to be very cathartic, especially creating it, it does feel like I'm using more of my brain, but not just that, there is also an emotional content, so maybe, and I'm just speculating here, but maybe creating music brings the emotional and moving centers together!? or at least gets them working together?

The other thing I find interesting is the channeling part of it, now this might seem a little weird, but it's almost like I am channeling the music through me, and my set of particular programs and experiences colours the result.


Yeah I saw the bee article on SOTT, interesting in deed :)
 
When do they finally put electrodes on the belly too ?

I learn guitar since tender age, but until eiriu eolas and tuning my emotions I didn't have the profound understanding of what means to create with an instrument. It really feels like you said 987baz, a channeling through the body mind apparatus, and the belly/emotional is much involved.

I usually let the space create when I play and letting the flow doing its work, it's... like a miracle !

It rearranges something inside while sharpening the outside, I feel always more dense and precise after a session.

Keeping silent some moments during or at the end of a session helps to deepen it... Having mind imagery in harmonie helps too ! It's really a practice of wholeness.

Thank you for sharing.
 
Thanks a lot for sharing!

It certainly does make me wanna unbox my guitar and get playing again. It has been a few years :-[

Saw this video a while ago and very much enjoyed it. Thanks 987baz! In my case on a daily basis I have to listen to music hehe, when im writing specially it really concentrates me.

For me practicing an instrument is one of those tools to also practice patience.. I got a harmonica and ukulele, but I'm in the very veery first steps of both, I do get very frustrated at times if I don't get it.. which reminds me of this book: https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=41417.0 So besides all this great benefits from playing an instrument I think it's also a great tool to practice patience, discipline and focus, that can then be of use in our daily life's.

In regards to Sack's "Musicophilia" and the great benefits of music therapy, there's also a documentary with him and Dan Cohen, who created a nonprofit organization called Music & Memory, the documentary is called Alive Inside, and it shows the process of treating older people with neurodegenerative diseases with music, and the effects you see on them are just amazing, I got teary eyed with it hehe.

No worries Nico, yes I think creating music is, for me at least, almost meditative. I think it would be interesting to view the brain state when playing and creating music!

Yes, it certainly does help with patience, I remember when I was first learning, wanting to run before I could walk as it were, I think like everything, it takes time and dedication.

For me it's very much about emotional expression, sometimes it's hard to express what you want to say with just words, where as music and singing help colour those emotions in, I've written plenty of songs over the years where I had no idea what they were about until later, looking back in hindsight. Now I don't want to say that they are prophetic as such, but I think if I go back to the channeling analogy maybe there is much more coming through than I can process at the time? Just a thought :)

Cool, thanks for the link, I'll check it out when I get a chance

A friend of mine expressed something similar regarding some paintings he made, looking back at them years later he understood them better. It could very well be as you say, and something is being tapped at a deeper level.

My last semester in college(spring 2015) I took a fundamentals of music class, and been learning keyboard on and off (more off, than on tbh lol) and I have noticed a difference in my emotional landscape, it seems more active, for lack of better words. Last month, I bought an acoustic guitar from a friend who was looking to get rid of it for cheap, and been practicing for 10-15 min every day, and it has been really noticeable that it is stimulating my emotional center, again for lack of better words :lol: There's something about it that makes me want to go back to it every day, and it feels more like therapy than a chore (that's how bass felt when I tried learning when I was in my teens, and that didn't last long). There's something about it that's very fulfilling, and seeing the info in this thread is helping shed light into what I'm experiencing. Thank you for sharing!

I must admit I have had my ups and downs with playing music, after my "music career" fell apart and I realized how corrupt and corporate the music industry was, I was pretty deflated and didn't play for a few years.

After a session with my kinesiologist, he basically said, you need to play music, it's part of who you are, initially it was horrible, it gave me crazy anxiety, but after working on it, now I play every day again, and I am working on my first solo album.

So yes, I would have to agree, it is therapy, and now that there is no expectation or pressure of a music career, it's so much more joyful and therapeutic .

987baz,

Thanks for sharing this information and your experience with music. I play the guitar although not every day but it is like therapy and I would surely miss being able to have music in my life. I don't know how Beethoven could create such great music after going deaf. It makes me appreciate being able to hear.

I hope you continue with the solo album 987baz. I think the music is a good part of you that will continue to help you learn and grow.

Keep up the practice Guille and I am sure you won't regret it. I started in high school after getting home and haven't stopped since. I traded my trumpet for a guitar and I still enjoy brass instruments as well. Some families have more interest in music I think and my mother's side of the family was a big factor although my dad played the piano and enjoyed singing too.

I have enjoyed the "What are you listening to?" thread and all the variety of music that is being shared. "Music is good" as the Cs have said but I think we would have figured that one out ourselves probably. :violin:
 
Deciding to play an instrument is one of the best decisions I ever made. I don't know what inside me compelled me to pick up the drumsticks, but I know I haven't put them down since, and eventually went on to explore hand drumming as well. There's something very primal and spiritual about melody and especially rhythm. It feels like you're communicating with the universe. Playing drums also helped preserve my sanity in a mad world - it's incredibly therapeutic. Music is an excellent way to let out frustration or sorrow, as well as to express and increase a sense of joy and gratitude. It also instills a sense of community when you play with other musicians or to a crowd - I've met so many interesting people throughout my life and made many good friends from playing music. It wasn't until later I realized what practicing and learning complex patterns was doing to my brain, how it was also helping me in my intellectual pursuits.

If you're thinking of learning an instrument, then I say go for it. Even if you think you're too old to start, it's never too late, in my opinion. Don't do it to be the best, though - do it because you enjoy doing it and you will inevitably improve. It's definitely a challenge, but that's also one of the aspects of playing music that is so wonderful - it's an amazing feeling when you realize you're playing something you used to be incapable of playing. The same goes for when you perform - you get nervous and anxious, but once you get up there and start playing, those feelings go away, and then when it's over you feel accomplished even if you made a mistake or two. It does wonders for one's self-esteem, too, if you're feeling deeply depressed or self-loathing.

I remember expressing this to you. The symbolism I decided to use in those paintings began to make more sense to me later in my life, like they were harbingers of knowledge I would only understand after years of study, but that the knowledge was already 'inside me' in a sense.

Thanks goyacobol, it's interesting about Beethoven, I assume he could still "hear" the music in his mind when composing, so even being deaf couldn't stop him from expressing his creativity! Pretty amazing really, especially considering the complexity of his music.

I too very much enjoy the what are you listening to thread, there's always something new and inspiring to listen to, with so many varied musical tastes. I also find it interesting to note how much my musical tastes have changed/evolved and how I can now find inspiration and joy in so many different types of music. Maybe it's doing the work that opens you up to a better understanding, or a change in FRV that helps you resonate.

As a younger man I was very much into the rock and metal scenes, that's pretty much all I would listen to, I guess being that age, I was angry and listening and playing that type of music allowed me to express that anger and frustration. Now I very rarely listen to that sort of music, I guess there are different emotions that I want/need to express. I can still appreciate the technical skill and arrangements but it doesn't seem to satisfy me emotionally.

Very well put, I agree very much with what you wrote, I do miss playing live, there is something very special about it, it's like bearing your soul to a room full of strangers, I think that's what makes live performance so "spiritual", as an artist you have to be vulnerable, and let people in, so they can resonate with what you are communicating, I think that's what helps connect people :)
 
Thanks for sharing Baz, and for everyone that has contributed to this thread. It's been a while, but I picked up my guitar again after reading everyone's responses and remembered what it was like to play and sing just for the sake of it and the joy that comes from it. Even finished writing the lyrics to a song I started writing a few years back.

Same here. I went into the music scene pretty naive and thought it was all about the music, right? You get together with your friends and band mates and write music that you would enjoy listening to. But it was never that simple and after playing with several bands, the more success that came with it, the more corrupt and political the scene became. I finally left and never looked back - even though I often miss getting together and collaborating, the music scene itself started to seem less about the music itself. Several months back I decided to buy some recording equipment and give it a shot because I had written enough material for an album - but as soon as I started recording a lot of anxiety started coming up and I put my guitar down again. Maybe old associations started to come back. But I might start up on that again and see where it goes. Playing an instrument and singing is therapeutic and healing when I leave my expectations at the door and just have fun with it and enjoy jamming and writing for the sake of it. I feel more connected with my guitar, and it's like being aware of so many different things simultaneously yet also relaxed and at ease. It's also when creativity seems to flow naturally.

That's really great to hear Turgon, I'm so glad you've picked up your guitar again and even finished writing a song!!

Yeah, the music industry is all about music, haha, how niave I was too, I thought we could change the world, well, at least get some good info out there and challenge people to think, but I think I was "forcing" that on people, rather than just putting it out there and letting those who were interested seek out more information, which I think was a big blocking point for me.

I can totally relate to your experience, I think there is so much we carry with us from previous experiences, but like everything else we do here, it's all part of the work and it's about releasing those things that hold us back. If it wasn't for my kinesiologist and another friend who does healing work, who both utterly convinced me that I would never be whole in this life if I didn't express myself through music, it is my gift, and to go against it is to go against DCM.

I hope you get back in to writing/recording your album Turgon, would love to hear what you're doing, maybe we could bounce some ideas off each other, it's always good to have feedback from a fellow muso :)

I have my own home studio as well and have around 20 songs now for the album, I need to start recording them properly, my problem at the moment, is my perfectionism getting in the way, haha, there's always something right!. I need to be able to just let go and start putting songs out, so that's the next step for me. I am going to put all the song names in a hat and pull one out, record it and put it out.
 
I remembered my earlier years studying music theory, and as a child without absolute ear I didn't really like to learn the difference between two intervals, the minor and major scale and so on.

Now I am thanksful because I can read sheet music (at least for a guitar) and it's truly graphically beautiful. I lack some basics about it and I would love to learn more deeply, I found this app which seems very complete, even if I would like to find an ancient essay on music made by Beethoven himself :P.
