Music of the Brain

Music affects our development from the womb to the grave. This documentary examines the role that music plays in developing our brains as humans. It looks at the influence of music on premature infants in neonatal intensive care wards and on growing children (including discussion of the Mozart effect), as well as exploring the role of music therapy for hospital patients and the elderly.
Music is good for our health – as non-Western tribal cultures have always known – and this documentary shows you how and why.
Featuring interviews with prominent international neuropsychologists, music educators and music psychologists, including Prof. Isabelle Peretz, Prof. Donald Hodges, Prof. John Sloboda, Dr Ian Cross and Assoc. Prof. Sarah Wilson.
