Oliver Sacks: Musicophilia: Tales
of Music and the Brain
"Dr.
Oliver Sacks is a British neurologist with a love of music and science.
This book blends music and science together like no book I've ever
read. There are some amazing stories here. I love the story of a
surgeon who developed a passion for listening and playing music
after he was struck by lightning. The story of a British conductor
is amazing too. He developed amnesia after his brain became inflammed.
He has the the memory and ability to conduct and sing music, but
he can't remember anything else...."
"The power of music to affect memory is quite
intriguing. Mozart's music and baroque music, with a 60 beats per
minute beat pattern, activate the left and right brain. The simultaneous
left and right brain action maximizes learning and retention of
information. The information being studied activates the left brain
while the music activates the right brain. Also, activities which
engage both sides of the brain at the same time, such as playing
an instrument or singing, causes the brain to be more capable of
processing information...."
"a well taught sequential music curriculum not only
results in music learning that has inherent value; it also gives
students the chance to listen, react, see, touch, and move. Instruction
in music skills, appreciation, and theory also provides a wealth
of learning strategies that enhance children's analyzing, synthesizing,
and evaluating skills. Students learn to process information and
transfer knowledge through these concrete, kinetic, and cognitive
experiences"
