Plenary - This Is Your Brain on Music: Neurobiology and the Power of Music

A growing body of research is expanding what we know about the power of music to affect health, improve learning, promote communication skills for children, and advance healthy aging. Renowned neurobiologist, Dr. Nina Kraus, director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University, will discuss fascinating new research on music’s effect on brain development and human interaction. Her findings can spark creative approaches for choruses to expand the impact of their work.
