major accord being happy, minor chords being said. it is the same as language. we understand the ones we are exposed to. there is a critical period during the first 12 years of life, one needs to be acculturated to those types of music. there are people in the field stay tuned we will have news about them soon. my question is how our brain remembers music. is it processed differently, stored differently than other types of memories? i ask that because, i can remember songs that i sang in second grade but i cannot remember my teacher s name, my friends. a lot of that have that experience. women go to old age homes, some of the last member is preserved in the elderly, even with alzheimer s, other decay, they remember songs from their childhood when they cannot even remember their spouse s name, what year it is. music has thiese musically reinforcing views. in a good piece of music, you have the elements of rhythm, pitch, harmony, meter, articulation, timbre, all working
willpower, and you have to have a belief in yourself, certainly, for the first few years of musical training, it does not sound very good. you have to believe it has to amount to something. all of these things come together which complicates the search for a jeanne. i certainly lost a lot of hours in my life. how many hours a day would you would you say you play? it depends. it could be none, five minutes, four, five hours. when i am preparing for something, i still get pretty lost. i could sit there for two hours without looking up too much, thinking about where i am. before i go to question, i wonder if you could indulge us and play the intro to my favorite song of yours crossway. i will try. it has been awhile. [applause] thank you. questions? thank you for that. that was great. i have a question, two-sided. when you play a piece like that, when we feel hear music, we feel the emotion. why does music trigger in motion? what is going on? let me take
some subconscious level give you a better understanding of why people are the way they are in different parts of the world and who they are. i think we should all be listening to each other s music and all try to play a little bit of music or sing. i think it is yeah. 60 seconds there? [applause] and you, daniel, what is your 60-second idea? as an educator and teacher, i think my 60-second idea to change the world is better education. if we could teach the next generation of kids to be critical thinkers, just not accept what they are told but to decide for themselves, to give them the tools to make informed decisions about what is right and what is not, about what has been established and what is just here say, what really has a grounding in fact versus rumor, i think the world would be a much safer, more peaceful, and more prosperous place. [applause] let s get a big, final round of applause for this nice, informed foray into neuroscience and music with myself, dan
that contextual aspect helps. inform is now wrapping up all of our events by asking our speakers, ourselves included, the following question. alex, what is your 60-second the idea to change the world? i think everybody should listen to music from other cultures. even daniel has said that, you know, we need to have that in printing when we are young to understand balinese monkey chants or something to put it into context. i travel a lot. i just came back from asia. i was given a lot of career in music, a lot of ethnic music a lot of korean music. even though you may not have a cultural context, if you give it a little bit of a chance, it is an opportunity to open up your mind a little bit. when you do that, it may on sub some subconscious level give you a better understanding of why people are the way they are in different parts of the world and who they are. i think we should all be listening to each other s music and all try to play a little bit of music or sing. i thi
movement. can i ask, i am a musician, do you have any advice often have trouble losing moving away from my everyday and getting into music. do you have any recommendations on how to speed up that context switching? i am assuming that as a professional musician, he doesn t have to do with complicated problems. you would not want me doing that. believe me. still, you have the context switch of being creative, non creative. that is true. sometimes you need something to wipe the slate clean. it could be taking a walk. these days, disconnecting. i have a studio. when i go there, is a place to work, i did not need to take my cell phone out there. having a physical location you can go to this is where i do this even just a quarter of your room. from a cognitive neuroscience standpoint, if you dedicate a place, if you are religious about it or clock 30 i am going to spend an hour 4:30 i m going to spend an hour here or there. that contextual aspect helps. info
