The brain learns fastest with stories—which have existed since the dawn of time. Music tells stories. Every life is a 3-D story, each unique. In a way, this story is about your brain, because everything begins in the brain, including music. It has enormous potential to change the brain and the way it functions (Mannes). Sound impacts the brain like no other art, penetrating deeply through ear structures. Multiple brain areas are activated by listening to music. Even more are stimulated by playing a musical instrument. It is impossible to listen to music and consciously override its effects on the brain and nervous system. You do not want to see something? Close your eyes. You do not like a sound? Good luck. Hard to close your ears in any natural way. Even if you succeed in blocking out the sound, you may still feel or sense the pulses of soundwaves against your skin. No central hub devoted strictly to music cognition has been identified in the brain. All brain structures that participate in the musical experience are also involved in other forms of cognition. For example, math and science. The brain functions best and most efficiently when it does one thing at a time and sticks to that task. Paying attention to music practice and performance means you are no longer paying attention to something else. Remember, attention is a limited-capacity resource in the brain.
