OSHU Professor of Neuroscience, Dr. Larry Sherman, talks to Bruce about his lecture in the Nancy R. Chandler Lecture series entitled Every Brain Needs Music: The Neuroscience Of Music-Making And Listening. The presentation is October 20 at COCC. You can find more information and a ticket link here.
The talk involves great classical music and signing, audience singing, and cutting-edge information about how learning to make music strengthens the brain in very significant ways.
This interview gets into the science, but also Dr. Sherman’s own life and reasons for adding this study of music and the brain to his foundational work on repairing damage to the brain.
Dr. Sherman also has a book of the same name coming out soon with co-author Dennis Plies.
