The Aspen Science Center and the Aspen Music Festival and School bring back the popular Science of Music series of lectures and demonstrations aimed at the "enthusiastic novice." No previous knowledge of physics or music theory is needed to enjoy these explorations.
Join AMFS and the Aspen Science Center for an evening exploring the amazing interconnections between music and the brain. From music’s impact on cognitive development in young children to how the brain changes when one learns to play an instrument or sing a song, the panel will explore the interface of cognitive development and neuroscience with music from the perspectives of musical composition, performance, and listening pleasure.
