Fundamentals of Piano Practice Quotes

“Music has a powerful effect on the functioning of the brain and its motor control (Sacks, Oliver,). This is one of the reasons why we usually use music when dancing or exercising. The best evidence for this comes from Alzheimer's patients who have lost their ability to dress themselves because they cannot recognize each different type of clothing. It was discovered that when this procedure is set to the proper music, these patients can often dress themselves! "Proper music" is music that they heard in early youth or their favorite music.”
