As a music lover I enjoyed this book which delves into the effect of music on the human brain, the use of music in therapy as well as the effect of music on the cognitive development of children. Fascinating read indeed.

This is a neat series of lectures that go into a little bit about how music is learned, and what it means about our brain. I was especially interested in the sections that touched on how music can help patients after a stroke, or who have Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as the parts that showed how music helped in childhood development. I appreciated having audio samples of a lot of the things the lecturer was discussing as well.
