"MUSIC IS AN OUTBURST OF THE SOUL..." ~ Frederick Delius

Parkinson’s has touched our family (due to Agent Orange exposure during military service) so learning as much about the brain is a top priority. Much was learned during a recent Parkinson’s symposium and what we are going to chat about today is the benefit of music on the brain. *Music is a tool to enhance movement. *Dopamine is released when listening to music. This happens when anticipating and expecting parts of a familiar song. *Singing yourself a song while walking may improve walking quality in people with Parkinson’s disease. The Brain * Likes repetition. * Enjoys finding patterns and nuance in a beloved song. * Likes music that is not too perfect (otherwise it is boring). * Gets surges of dopamine during the building up of a moving song that leads to a release then releasing even more dopamine.

Here Are A Few Recommended Songs For Dopamine Release…..Houston’s Parkinson’s Society Let’s Twist Again……..Chubby Checker Tutti Frutti…………….…Little Richard Great Balls of Fire…….Jerry Lee Lewis Jailhouse Rock……….…Elvis Presley Fly Me to The Moon…Frank Sinatra I Got Rhythm…………...Sarah Vaughan We Will Rock You…….Queen Recommended Books: How Music Can Make You Better…. Indre Viskontas, PhD This Is Your Brain on Music….Daniel Levitin Musicophillia: Tales of Music and the Brain…Oliver Sacks You Tube…TEDx Talks..”Your Brain on Music”..Allan Harvey ‘Perception to Pleasure: How Music Changes the Brain”..Robert Zatorre. Shall we challenge ourselves to listen to more music “which impacts brain function and human behavior, including reducing stress, pain and symptoms of depression as well as improving cognitive and motor skills.”? Let’s Keep A Song In Our Hearts! Donna Konopka
