Ever wondered about the link between neuroscience and music?

If so, listen to this podcast! You’ll get to learn all about neuroscience and music practice.

In this episode, Modacity Founder Marc Gelfo teamed up with Brent Vaartstra from Learn Jazz Standards to talk about how knowing more about cognition can speed up musical mastery.

COGNITIVE SCIENCE AND MUSIC PRACTICE

Marc likes to call himself a neuro-symphonic french hornist. He strongly believes that the link between mind and body has a direct impact on music practice. Why? Well, Marc took what he knew about cognitive science and applied it to music. And following that, he was able to excel musically.

This is why he thinks that learning more about neuroscience can help with musical success. What’s more, is that Marc wanted to share what he learned. He wanted the world of music to know about the link between cognition and music practice. After all, that’s what made his music practice so much better. Furthermore, this is what inspired him to build Modacity.

Here’s what’s covered in this podcast episode:

• The reason why Marc says he’s a neuro-symphonic french hornist
• Why it’s so important for musicians to know about neuroscience
• Cognition: it’s not just in the brain
• The facts and fiction on muscle memory.
