Questions abound concerning the A=440 concert pitch… What is it? When did it become standard? What’s the truth about it? Is it harmful? Many more questions float about waiting for answers that make sense. Some people discussing musical subjects don’t understand music theory or read sheet music. Because of that,…
Scientific studies abound when it comes to demonstrating the effects of music on our health. There are few people in disagreement that music has healing properties. In this article, I refer to a study titled “Can music influence the longevity of human blood cells?” The study was conducted at the…
A National Geographic article from 2008 shows that DNA can be “heard” through music. That article title is… “Your DNA is a Song: Scientists Use Music to Code Proteins.” Scientists also say we’re made up of about 97% “junk DNA.” Is it possible that our DNA acts as storage for…
