Covid
and
Music
I have wondered why Italians started singing (together) from their balconies.
That I love Italian opera is a given, but still…
Probably many more examples from around the
globe. But why?
I found some explanation right here:. This article
is written by music neuroscientists.
It seems to be more complicated than first assumed.
Quote: “Music is universal — no human culture
exists without it. Even if we only tap or move
along, our universal response to music is to join
in. This inclination is deeply rooted in neurobiology
— our brain’s neural motor, or movement,
system lights up when we hear music, even if we
appear to be remaining still.
This is a very funny observation. Are we as humans hard-wired for music?
It seems so. Maybe even hard-wired for sound. If so, sound is at the
same level as our sight.
