Why Should We Learn Music?

Thinking about learning music? What makes music so unique? Why should we engage in music? Below are some of my favorite videos about music learning and playing that I love at the moment. 
​

How playing an instrument benefits your brain

Anita Collins, in a very engaged animated Ted-Ed lesson, talks about what goes on in the brain when musicians play their instruments. This is a great short introduction to how playing an instrument affects our brains in positive ways. 

Why is "why" so important?

Professor William Fitzpatrick (Henri Temianka Professor of Violin at Chapman University) asks students to never stop questioning in their learning process at his TEDxtalk at San Juan Capistrano. A great resource for those looking for new perspectives on their own learning. 

That famous cello prelude, deconstructed

Cellist Alisa Weilerstein discusses and deconstructs arguably one of the most famous cello piece of all time: Bach's Prelude from Cello Suite no. 1. An educational video looking into how a piece can be analyzed through the lens of music composition.
