"How music sculpts our brain," by Isabelle Peretz, Professor of Psychology at the Université de Montreal
Isabelle Peretz will present "How music sculpts the brain," the English adaptation of her book “Apprendre la musique. Nouvelles des Neurosciences,” Odile Jacob 2018. She will summarize the main findings of more than thirty years of neuropsychological research on music and translate these into actionable recommendations that can be directly applied in the music room. She will explain how the process of learning music impacts our brain, how music fosters curiosity, attention and altruism, whether children need a ‘musical ear’ to develop their musical ability, and more.
