🎶✨ Since opening our doors in the early '90s, we've been privileged to witness the transformative power of music, even before the science was fully understood. Listening to music is undeniably enjoyable, lighting up brain regions tied to auditory processing, emotion, and memory. However, engaging with music through activities or therapy takes it to another level, activating extensive brain areas, boosting cognitive functions, and delivering therapeutic benefits that often exceed expectations. 🌟🎵

🧠 Neurologists have long known that there were areas of the brain specifically dedicated to processing music, and with the advent of advanced brain imaging technology, they’ve discovered that music’s reach is far more extensive than previously believed.
🎧 When we listen to music, sound vibrations in the ear are converted to neural messages and transmitted to the thalamus, the brain’s “sensory relay station.” After reaching the thalamus, sound information is passed to the auditory cortex and instantaneously broken down into many different elements including, but not limited to: timing, pitch, and timbre (tone).
🦻 Auditory information is also sent to other parts of the brain to be compared against historical associations and emotional responses (do I like it or not?), stimulating many parts of the brain in both hemispheres.
✨ Although neurologists are still exploring how the auditory cortex functions, they now believe that music processing is much more complex than initially imagined, and involves many more parts of the brain than previously suspected.
