New McMaster Research: Music and the Mind

[Groove Fetish]

I rarely add anything to this board...but here is a very interesting topic that is not only music, but should serve to make everyone on here feel a little bit better about their own interests in pursuing music.

Thanks for these links - pretty engaging research, obviously. Plus it's further proof of the need for more jambands playing kid-friendly festivals, to boot .

I was in McMaster's music program last year. In september a panel of "experts" came to observe and review the School of the Arts - music, drama, art

In the report that was released in early 2006, the music department was rated one of the worst in canada. (I don't remember the specifics). It was no suprise to me - the school heavily favours sciences and health studies. I didn't go back this year because I was so turned off by the program

well- I have heard that as well- but we can only hope that such crossover may help them see the light.

Still very interesting research.

McMaster ... heavily favours sciences and health studies.

indeed, Mac is situating itself to become the pre-eminent health science university in the country, and is already established as a world leader in many areas of health research.

Cool thread, Groove
