Two great books on the same subject, one of which was suggested by my Piano
teacher, are: "This is your Brain on Music, the Science of a Human
Obsession" by Daniel J. Levitin, and Robert Jourdain's "Music, the Brain and
Ecstasy: How Music captures our imagination." Both a wonderful reads, not
quite as scholarly as this referred study, but all three, books and article
center on the same thing: The Brain and making music.

It is fascinating stuff to explore. Especially among us whose motor skills
aren't what they always need to be in playing a break or major chord.

To err IS human, but where is the audience or music director that has the
humility of heart to forgive?

Peace,
