The talk was mainly on the brain and music and sociology and music. It was nice to read this post and see further things touched on - firstly a book I can recommend is 'your brain on music ' ;it's really fun and highly accessable as a read. Secondly, regarding animals and song - apaarently, the whole bird song thing is a matter of rhythm and not pitch. It was disclosed I. This talk I went to that only the human and the domesticised animal can recognise a tune as harmonious or in fact, knowingly make music. It's is our human interpretation of bird and whalesong that we hear it resembling a tune, and the animals do not. How they know that I will never know, but appaerently it is true - in the lecture, it was followed by an amazi g video of a domesticised parrot dancing to michael Jackson!

I have been in some community orchestras and have also enjoyed the experience. It's really quite a unique opportunity when you think about it. Cool.

Although we have a few professionals in the group, most of us have other lives and just play for the enjoyment we get from making music. We play about 7 concerts a year and love watching people's faces as they listen to the music. I play the flute, and I play in a community orchestra of about 50 members.

As an amateur classical musician I appreciate the thinking about the importance of music in our lives. I especially like the thought that "music history is world history". Music explains a lot of who we are. I look forward to future thoughts. This is a really thoughtful post about music.
