Put on the right song and you smile or cry, tap your feet, or just sigh a contented “ah.” Music connects to something deep within us, something that has to do with our ability as human beings to create anything we desire. I’m not just talking about art, music, or writing. Creating encompasses all of life—creating a cake or a clean space in your house, or even just creating an emotion, good or bad. Music gives us a direct conduit into that force and helps it blossom in a way that’s almost unexplainable. I had heard of the term “music therapy,” a while ago, but never really paid attention—even dismissed it because of the word “therapy” to be honest (how could something so wonderful as music be reduced to therapy—like psychoanalysis or something). Then I met Jennifer Buchanan. She’s a Music Therapist by training, but there was something about Jennifer that made me immediately sit up and pay attention. She talked about music in a way that I had not heard before. It was getting close to that “unexplainable” thing that I had always known existed with music but could never really put my finger on. Jennifer definitely had a book inside her, itching to get out. I had never read a “music therapy” book, but I could tell that she was trying to get at something that hadn’t been fully expressed before in writing. I told her that the science of music wasn’t what made the topic interesting to me. As she started telling me her stories, I knew that in those stories lay the answer: it was what music could do to a being, a person who was in need of cheering up, of de-stressing, of even finding a way to connect back to the world. Four years have passed since I first met Jennifer and two years since we published the first edition of this book. After I had read some prelim- inary drafts, I gave her some suggestions on how to enhance the message. After reading her book I thought a lot about music and how it was lacking more than a little in my life. I love music—I grew up playing the piano. I couldpick up just about any instrument, except the guitar for some reason, and learn how to play it pretty quickly. But I stopped listening to music con- sistently more than a few years ago. I didn’t play the radio in the car because | vii I liked the silence. As a writer, sometimes I am consumed with my thoughts. I talk about “hearing” a book in my head before I write it, so I guess you could say I’m constantly writing, no matter what else I’m doing. But since reading the first drafts of TUNE IN, I had been slightly bothered by the idea that I didn’t listen to music that much anymore, and I certainly didn’t listen to anything that uplifted me. I have a grade-school aged daughter so we listen to a lot of pop music but not much else. Then one Sunday morning, I came home from the grocery store. My beloved father had died about three weeks earlier; I was buried in work, and I wasn’t particularly happy—just doing my chores, making sure my family was taken care of. As I walked in the door, I heard the wonderful sound of James Tay- lor singing “Sweet Baby James.” We have a little boom box in our kitchen, nothing fancy, and my husband had put on a James Taylor Greatest Hits CD he had found in a thrift store the day before. As I listened to the strains of that song, I almost cried. It was the most beautiful thing I had heard in a long time. For whatever reason, on that morning that was “my” music, and the message of Jennifer’s book hit me in the gut. When I needed something soothing, there it was: James Taylor singing to my soul. I felt immediately more relaxed. I put down the sack of groceries I was carrying and made my husband dance with me in the middle of the kitchen. I felt more connected to life than I had in a while. It is a memory I will cherish. TUNE IN is all about using music intentionally. You’ll hear a lot more about that in the following pages, but I’m sure you know instinctually what it means already. It’s finding the right music for whatever situation: for when you’re feeling blue and want to feel blue or when you need cheering up, for helping you through a tough spot in life or finding a way to make a difficult decision.

    The Influence of Musical Rhythm on Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Electrodermal Activity Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) vorgelegt der Philosophischen Fakult¨at der Martin-Luther-Universit¨at Halle-Wittenberg, Institut f¨ur Musik, Abteilung Musikwissenschaft von Martin Morgenstern geboren am 3. Juni 1979 in Dresden Gutachter: Professor Dr. Wolfgang Auhagen Martin-Luther-Universit¨at, Halle-Wittenberg Professor Dr. med. Hans-Christian Jabusch Hochschule f¨ur Musik Carl Maria von Weber, Dresden Tag der Verteidigung: 7. Juli 2009 iii Abstract Background. Athanasius Kircher, one of the first prominent figures to pro- pose a connection between the distinct rhythm of the heart and the state of people’s health, suggested the use of rhythmic stimuli to cure diseases. Since then, there have been various attempts to alter the heart rate by means of auditory stimuli, and for similar purposes. Be it in music or in rhythmical coordination tasks, interactions of periodic exogenous pulses and endogenous biological rhythms have been studied extensively. However, there are still limitations to understanding the regulating mechanisms in cardio-respiratory synchronisation. Aims. Various listening and bio-feedback experiments are discussed, dealing with different aspects of the influence of rhythmical auditory stimuli on cardio-respiratory regulation, biological rhythm generation and coordina- tion. A focus is on the interpretation of respective physiological adaptation processes and different relaxation strategies that might help musicians to deal with unwanted stress before, during, and after a musical performance. Dif- ferent challenges inherent to empirical musicological and music-related bio- medical research, and how they might be tackled in future experiments, are considered.

  • Chapter 7 the Neuroscience of Emotion in Music Jaak Panksepp and Colwyn Trevarthen
    07-Malloch-Chap07 9/9/08 10:41 AM Page 105 Chapter 7 The neuroscience of emotion in music Jaak Panksepp and Colwyn Trevarthen 7.1 Overture: why humans move, and communicate, in musical–emotional ways Music moves us. Its rhythms can make our bodies dance and its tones and melodies can stir emotions. It brings life to solitary thoughts and memories, can comfort and relieve loneliness, promote private or shared happiness, and engender feelings of deep sadness and loss. The sounds of music communicate emotions vividly in ways beyond the ability of words and most other forms of art. It can draw us together in affectionate intimacy, as in the first prosodic song-like conversations between mothers and infants. It can carry the volatile emotions of human attach- ments and disputes in folk songs and grand opera, and excite the passions of crowds on great social occasions. These facts challenge contemporary cognitive and neural sciences. The psychobiology of music invites neuroscientists who study the emotional brain to unravel the neural nature of affective experience, and to seek entirely new visions of how the mind generates learning and memory— to reveal the nature of ‘meaning’. The science of communicative musicality—the dynamic forms and functions of bodily and vocal gestures—helps us enquire how the motivating impulses of music can tell compelling stories. This also leads us to ask how human music relates to our animal emotional heritage and the dynamic instinctual movements that communicate emotions. Research on the emotional systems of animals is bringing us closer to explanations of the still mysterious aspects of human affective experiences, and hence the emotional power of music.

  • The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - Updated April 9, 2006
    The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - updated April 9, 2006 compiled by Linda Bangert Please send any additions or corrections to Linda Bangert ([email protected]) and notice of any broken links to Neil Ottenstein ([email protected]). This listing of tour dates, set lists, opening acts, additional musicians was derived from many sources, as noted on each file. Of particular help were "Higher and Higher" magazine and their website at www.moodies- magazine.com and the Moody Blues Official Fan Club (OFC) Newsletters. For a complete listing of people who contributed, click here. Particular thanks go to Neil Ottenstein, who hosts these pages, and to Bob Hardy, who helped me get these pages converted to html. One-off live performances, either of the band as a whole or of individual members, are not included in this listing, but generally can be found in the Moody Blues FAQ in Section 8.7 - What guest appearances have the band members made on albums, television, concerts, music videos or print media? under the sub-headings of "Visual Appearances" or "Charity Appearances". The current version of the FAQ can be found at www.toadmail.com/~notten/FAQ-TOC.htm I've construed "additional musicians" to be those who played on stage in addition to the members of the Moody Blues. Although Patrick Moraz was legally determined to be a contract player, and not a member of the Moody Blues, I have omitted him from the listing of additional musicians for brevity. Moraz toured with the Moody Blues from 1978 through 1990. From 1965-1966 The Moody Blues were Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge, although Warwick left the band sometime in 1966 and was briefly replaced with Rod Clarke.

  • The Motivational Qualities and Effects of Music
    CHARACTERISTICS AND EFFECTS OF MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC IN EXERCISE A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David-Lee Priest Department of Sport Sciences, Brunel University July 2003 i ABSTRACT The research programme had three principal objectives. First, the evaluation and extension of the extant conceptual framework pertaining to motivational music in exercise settings. Second, the development of a valid instrument for assessing the motivational qualities of music: The Brunel Music Rating Inventory-2 (BMRI-2). Third, to test the effects of motivational and oudeterous (lacking in both motivational and de-motivational qualities) music in an externally-valid setting. These objectives were addressed through 4 studies. First, a series of open-ended interviews were conducted with exercise leaders and participants (N = 13), in order to investigate the characteristics and effects of motivational music in the exercise setting. The data were content analysed to abstract thematic categories of response. These categories were subsequently evaluated in the context of relevant conceptual frameworks. Subsequently, a sample of 532 health-club members responded to a questionnaire that was designed to assess the perceived characteristics of motivational music. The responses were analysed across age groups, gender, frequency of attendance (low, medium, high), and time of attendance (morning, afternoon, evening). The BMRI-2 was developed in order to address psychometric weaknesses that were associated with its forbear, the BMRI. A refined item pool was created which yielded an 8-item instrument that was subjected to confirmatory factor analysis. A single-factor model demonstrated acceptable fit indices across three different pieces of music, two samples of exercise participants, and both sexes.

  • A Meta-Analytic Review and Field Studies of Ultra-Distance Athletes
    Running head: EFFECTS OF SYNCHRONOUS MUSIC Effects of Synchronous Music in Sport and Exercise: A Meta-Analytic Review and Field Studies of Ultra-Distance Athletes A Dissertation submitted by Michelle Louise Curran GCertCrimAnlys BCCJ Griffith GCertTT&L BSc(Psych)(Hons) USQ For the award of Doctor of Philosophy October 2012 EFFECTS OF SYNCHRONOUS MUSIC ii Abstract Effects of music in sport and exercise have been investigated in many forms since the first published study by Ayers (1911). Music has been shown to provide significant benefits to physical and psychological responses but whether such benefits apply to ultra-distance athletes is unknown. The present research quantified effects of music in sport and exercise, specifically in terms of performance, psychological responses, physiological functioning and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE); and also investigated such effects among ultra-distance athletes in training and race environments. Study 1 was a meta-analysis of published research evidence, which quantified effects of music on performance, feelings (Feeling Scale - FS), heart rate (HR), oxygen utilisation (VO 2), and RPE. A total of 86 studies producing 162 effects showed weighted mean effects of d = .35 (performance), d = .47 (FS), d = .14 (HR), d = .25 (VO 2), and d = .29 (RPE) confirming small to moderate benefits of music. In Study 2, two elite ultra-distance athletes completed a 20 km training session on four occasions listening to synchronous motivational music, synchronous neutral music, an audio book, or no music. Motivational music provided athletes with significant benefits compared to no music and audio book conditions. Neutral music was associated with the slowest completion times for Athlete 1 but the second fastest for Athlete 2, behind motivational music.
