Customer Reviews
Fascinating Series
As a professional songwriter and former engineer, I find this series to be a fascinating discussion that satisfies both sides of the brain. Intelligent, educational, interesting are but a few of the adjectives that describe the various topics covered so far. I have learned quite a lot about how music relates to the brain and visa versa. Some of the discussions require more than a basic understanding of music, while others do not. But if you just listen, no matter what your level of musical knowledge, you will find extremely enlightening explanations and theories. I highly recommend this offering from the LOC to anyone interested in music, the brain. or both.
