Here I will try my best to record any and all happenings in my life that I feel are of relative importance to my personal growth as a jazz listener/performer. This will include, but is not limited to: my attendance at live performances, educational encounters with teachers/mentors/etc., personal discoveries, goals, challenges, difficulties, successes, jam sessions, transcriptions, etc etc etc.

The Brain and Music

talked to Sarah at her Halloween 'party', she told me about the professor for her Psychology of Music class, she mentioned something about him using a 'torus' to demonstrate the shifts in tonality throughout the song "Girl From Ipanema"; found some more articles on the subject of music's effects on the brain, how it processes music, tonality, melody etc here, very interesting:
