Sound Health Network
21 Videos | 105 views | Updated 31 Mar 2021

The great Renée Fleming made 19 episodes centering on the topic "Music and Mind". Each episode deals with a different aspect of how music affects our mind, our wellbeing, our physical and mental health, our emotional, intelectual development and that of children, adults and seniors, etc. Well worth watching to not only gain inspiration but be aware of the current neuroscientific level of research and insight into this very timely topic.
