“When we love a piece of music, it reminds us of other music we have heard, and it activates memory traces of emotional times in our lives. Your brain on music is all about, as Francis Crick said, connections.” What is music? Many of us have distinctive definitions of this complex term because it plays a unique role in each of our lives. Daniel J. Levitin, the author of This Is Your Brain on Music, looks at music from a neuropsychological perspective. How music affects us is connected through our brains neurochemistry, our mental associations with the music, our culture, and our spirit, which are all mentioned in this scientific journey.
I was able to hold back most of the negative emotions brought on by having to describe the trauma of the accident, and it enabled me to create an essay unlike anything I have ever written. Music made my writing experience unlike any other and has aided me in creating and using a broader vocabulary and extensive use of detail. This shows how music has a heavy impact on my ability to think “outside of the box” and become more inspired. Being a music student I have found a lot of inspiration in music and it has made me a better writer. A specific instance where I

I'll start at the middle: for the sole purpose of wordplay, I'd been planning title this entry after Henry Cow's final studio effort, Western Culture. The first of their studio records to not feature their characteristic sock cover art, the album's composition credits are split solely between organist/saxophonist Tim Hodgkinson and bassoonist Lindsay Cooper. Side A is populated with Hodgkinson's angular, mathematically dissonant works--the structure is imminently logical, but your average pair of ears will find little to recognize harmonically, melodically, or even structurally. Hodgkinson writes like he understands music on a completely intellectual level--intervals and combinations of notes on paper, every choice a deliberate logical decision. Cooper's side B, no less complex, exudes a totally different different energy.
“Sometimes normal musical imagery crosses a line and becomes, so to speak pathological, as when a certain fragment of music repeats itself incessantly, sometimes maddeningly, for days on end.”(100). This is called “brain worms” and it is something we all have to deal with at one point or another because of music constantly surrounding us. It does not seem like a big deal, but it is, especially when it
Chabris. This subject is addressed in the article Music Lessons Enhance IQ, where researchers conduct an experiment on a group of six year old children; giving two groups music lessons for one year, one group drama lessons for one year, and one group no lessons. The lessons lasted for 36 weeks, with several different teachers conducting the classes. The WISC-III test, the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, and the Parent Rating Scale of Behavioral Assessment System for Children were all administered before the experiment commenced. The hypothesis that the researcher’s came up with for this experiment was, quite obviously, that musical lessons enhance IQ.
(Christenson, 1992) The study measured the reactions of 145 middle-school students, ages 11–15. The students were randomly assigned to two groups, one in which the album cover of the music they were asked to judge had a parental advisory label, and a control group in which students heard and judged the same music that did not have the advisory label. The students were then asked to indicate on a five-point scale how much they liked the music and how much they would like to own the recording. The results showed that labeled music was liked less and desired less than unlabeled music. (Christenson, 1992) Public Opinion on Sound Recording Labels A national survey of 800 parents of children ages 2–17, conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, asked whether parents “ever” used the parental advisory system for sound recordings to help guide their families’ choices.
