Schedule of Classes

Description: Class focuses on Music and the Brain. Attempts to organize sound have existed since at least the Middle Paleolithic and across all epochs and cultures, humans have used music as a means of expression, as a tool to think with, and as an agent for healing. Interest has greatly expanded as of late to account for music’s cognitive connections, or the way music can alter our body composition for the better. This class explores the relationship between music (both producing and consuming), our cognitive processes, and kinesiology. Topics include the elements of music as applied to neuroscience, music psychology, aging, sound healing, music therapy, and other related topics depending on the interest of the class. Previous musical experience is not necessary.
