Join Dr. Samuel Markind as he explores the science behind why music so deeply influences how we feel.

In Music Between Your Ears, Dr. Samuel Markind explores the relationship between music and brain function. Using evolutionary theory, he illuminates the pivotal roles that music plays in human survival and procreation. Music’s impact on raising children, finding love, and building community has molded the human species and continues to shape our lives in remarkable ways. This book combines research, stories, and drawings to present compelling evidence for music’s life-enhancing potential. Dr. Markind highlights the brain’s instinctive capacities for music and the effects that music has on brain development throughout our lives. Music helps us learn at any age and in any condition, so it can improve our speech, movement, and memory, whether we’re healthy or suffering from illness or injury. The benefits of active participation in music are profound and accessible to everyone. Filled with straight forward and practical suggestions, this book will inspire anyone seeking to enrich their life through music.

DR. SAMUEL MARKIND ‘s love of neurology and music fuels his passion for teaching communities about the connection between music and the brain.
