I am looking for studies that show the impact of music training on the brain, particularly with all the changes that occur.

Thanks you

Hearing scientists have worked ever so hard in search of physical correlate of pitch in the mechanics or acoustics of sound sources. However, a pitch meter does it so effortlessly. Consider the odds.

Figure 1 presents two waveforms that generate the same musical pitch A3. The two signals were produced by different configurations of a string. The FFT analysis of the two signals are presented in figure 2. The two signals have the same prime component (166 and 165 Hz). The signal (top) has no fundamental but only odd partials, the resonant component is the first in the spectrum. The signal (bottom) is harmonic, but the fundamental (55 Hz) is not present in the signal, and the prime component (165 Hz) is the third partial. Despite these acoustic discrepancies, the ear perceives the same A3 and the pitch meter agrees with it. What does the pitch meter measure to arrive at the pitch A3?

If we could know, the data could offer insights on the principle of the auditory mechanism, and help in preparing hearing aids for sufferers of hearing loss.

I ‘m studying to develop a voice training method to be used in Traditional Turkish Music Education. So I need the approaches of different cultures that use makam music.

We have a new research project that seeks to understand the characteristics of performance careers across the cAreer lifespan. Please join in the new Twitter conversation using #PerformanceCareer, or respond to us here. Our questions are: What does a performance career look like? How is it sustained? What else does it involve? We would love your help!

During a minitutorial presentation at the 2018 SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences, currently taking place in Minneapolis, Minn., Daniel Forger presented a series of talks exploring the mathematics behind auditory processing, musical representation and music theory, and the neuroscience of performance. Forger tested Tymoczko’s theory on various pieces of music and found that chords do not typically stay in the center, but rather jump around the diagram. He examined the chords of J.S. Bach’s Trio Sonatas for organ, a complicated set of pedagogical pieces consisting of 18 movements. Forger found that Bach implemented 354 of 364 possible chords, and used 6,582 unique chord progressions. “He’s got this tremendous palette, and he’s not using the same chord progression over and over,” he said. Moreover Forger then addressed the growing relationship between mathematics and neuroscience, which begins with the inner ear’s dynamics.

What kind of microphone do I have to use for research in the field of classical voice quality evaluation?

I wish I could get a model/type of training to non-business students so as they become entrepreneurs in their areas of specializations. for example, what type of training to make students taking Law, Education, Psychology, music, Sociology etc so as they become future entrepreneurs?

I'm trying to find a positive relation between the aural skills musicians have and how it can influence to make the SLA process easier; specially its different sounds and pronunciation. Can someone suggest any books/articles related to music studies and a SLA?

I am trying to look for the different types of singing across the world.

I would be highly obliged if you could support your stand with any available published literature.

as we know the specific frequency of sound stimulate the specific part of cochlea of ear that was named cilia(hair cells). subsequently ,the cilia convert the amplitude of the sound to corresponding frequency. nevertheless, is the brain sense the rhythm of the sound?
