Music in The Brain: The Musical Baby: Crying, laughing and the love of song – 3
Venue: Nortvegia
The Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Music in the Brain (MIB) is an interdisciplinary research center at Aarhus University and the Royal Academy of Music, aiming to address the dual questions of how music is processed in the brain. In four brief talks the symposium provides an insight into some of the aspects of the MIB research.
“The Musical Baby: Crying, laughing and the love of song”
How can you tell a French baby from a German baby? Should we be playing Mozart to babies in the womb? This talk will give a whirlwind tour through the science of our earliest musical experiences and tackle some myths along the way.
Presented by The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus/Aalborg & SPOT+
