Description

Discover the ancient relationship between music and medicine. Learn how the brain works when you listen and make music, the relationship between rhythm, movement, and health, between pleasure, emotion, and music, and the many ways in which music improves your health slows down the aging process, increases your creativity and produces happiness and a sense of purpose in life.


A transdisciplinary book that explores the relationship between music and medicine and the impact of music on mental and physical health at an individual and social level. In light of recent neuroscientific research, this book explains the cognitive processes of music to understand how the brain of musicians works and the many benefits of musical practice at a mental level.


The perception of sound and music, one of the most intimate and personal human experiences, has been key to the evolution of our species, and it could also be key to creating an individual who is more conscious of themselves and their surrounding, an individual with a global ecological conscience.
