Music production and musical perception are a<br />

peculiar feature of the human brain. Music is not<br />

only an artistic activity, but a language for<br />

communication, it evokes emotions and makes them<br />

stronger. Music changes us! It makes us better,<br />

more sensitive, more careful ... but now we know<br />

that it also increases our brain!<br />

The power of music to affect memory is quite<br />

intriguing. Mozart's music and baroque music, with a 60<br />

beats per minute beat pattern, activate the left and<br />

right brain. The simultaneous left and right brain<br />

action maximizes learning and retention of information.<br />

The information being studied activates the left brain<br />

while the music activates the right brain. Also,<br />

activities which engage both sides of the brain at the<br />

same time, such as playing an instrument or singing,<br />

causes the brain to be more capable of processing<br />

information.<br />
