The Universal Language

As you have read the intro to my blog, you may have caught on to my point and interest and hopefully yours as well about music and education. Instead of telling you at first what I am going to do, I thought I would give you an up front explanation of what has become of the children of today and how they are growing up without music and why it is important that the value of music education can help open the minds of the youth and grow into something extraordinary.
I have began to tell you of things I have heard, read and personally seen about music and the reaction it has on the fetus. As this blog grows so will the growth of the human mind. I will provide you with some research to help you as you take a look for yourself on how experts have shown us what music does to us.
Meanwhile, as the brain becomes more educated and starting its elementary years, why they should have the access to a music program.
So let me start out by telling you that local researchers from Northwestern University, the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory have done some investigating themselves to see how the brain perceives sound and music. You can check it out for yourself at http.www.soc.northwestern.edu/brainvolts/index.php, I think you may come across some really interested stuff. I know I did. When you get to it, go to "lab projects" click on the slideshow and it will take you on an interesting journey of how, musical training changes sound processing in the brain (soc.northwestern.edu/brainvolts/slideshows/music/index.php)
Later this week, I will introduce you to Richard Gill, an Opera Director and show you one of his seminars and why he believes that children need to have an education in music.
I once read an article that English is the universal language but I have to say I disagree.
Music is the universal language, it can translate to many around the world. People of all sorts come together as one, to listen to their favorite song.
