• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

You are the music / While the music lasts' T.S. Eliot, The Four Quartets Do babies remember music from the womb? Can classical music increase your child’s IQ? Is music good for productivity? What is going on in your brain when Ultravox’s Vienna, Schönberg’s Verklärte Nacht or Dizzle Rascal's Bonkers transport you to back to student life? In this brilliant new exploration of the place of music in all our lives - whether we’re a professional musician or just often find ourselves humming The Archers theme tune - music psychologist Victoria Williamson asks: from the womb to old age, why is music SO important to so many of us? From the child who takes music lessons to the commuter who cannot travel to work without an iPod, this upbeat, eye-opening book reveals for the first time the extent of the universal language of music that lives deep inside us all.
