To Music: An Anthology
'TO MUSIC' is an anthology of memoirs, essays, poems and fictional stories. Some have changed lives, some have changed minds, and some reveal historically significant attitudes. A few are related to the influence of music in our lives. Although most of us enjoy music, few people seem to be aware of its beneficial physical impact on the brain. Researchers believe that early musical experiences intensify the development of neural synapses. By increasing the number and interactions between brain cells, music essentially enhances a child's ability to think, learn, reason and create. New research suggests that playing a musical instrument during adulthood is significantly associated with reduced risk of cognitive impairment and dementia.
