Shelby's Gravatar Fascinating! I just watched a video (available on Netflix) entitled "Music Instinct: Science and Song" (2009) featuring many scientists and musicians, including Bobby McFerrin, Yo Yo Ma, Daniel Barenboim, which explored the relationship between the brain, music and learning. If you can get your hands on the video, do--well worth the 2 hours of information.
