Your brain on music | Alan Harvey | TEDxPerth

[@GrahamGreeneGuitar]

I teach music to children with learning disabilities, and I have seen first-hand and in real time the effects. Alan is absolutely right.

[@JackHernandezGentlemanJack]

This talk actually made me cry. Music is everything to me.

[@anemonaloco]

Music is the noblest endeavor a human could do. it is both things at the same time, a treasure and a gift.

[@lye1_1]

Protect it and never forget it. It is humanity.

[@MaristerPrado]

This happened to me too Brazilian Artur da Távola said: "Music is an inner life and those who have an inner life never suffer from loneliness". Today May 28, 2021 God bless you.

[@allmusic962]

Me too

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

there's a secret to music as meditation that we modern Westernized people don't understand. haha. Music goes way deeper than we think.

[@PerthSymphony]

We absolutely LOVED being involved in this project. We, at Perth Symphony know just how much of an effect music has on our mind and mood, let alone our mental wellbeing! It was so great to be able to share this with everyone at TedX Perth and now in the world of KZbin!

[@serijas737]

Thank you very much for contributing to the TED Talk, I appreciate your work.

[@aurasenpai8139]

Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@rickyhackett6703]

I used to feel like I couldn’t do anything, I have autism and can struggle to “get a grip” on things sometimes but when I pick up my takamine and start playing it’s like riding a bike

[@trishacarney821]

I wish to learn more about the effects of musical crescendos on lifting depression.

[@saywhat446]

Thank you very much for your work! Can I ask what was the second piece of music used in the EEG demonstration (quite dissonant and supposedly unpleasant)? I really loved it...

[@drrp41]

I’m working with Alzheimer’s Patients as a musician/therapist and I vouch for the truth of this video. Music has the power to awaken so much good emotionally and cognitively . It should be enlisted as adjunct therapy in all medical treatments.

[@PerthSymphony]

The power of music is amazing! Have you seen the doco 'Alive Inside'?

[@hosamorfali3444]

Ur blessed to be part of something so magical and meaningful 🙏🏻

[@ferrygirl100]

Thank you for what you do. I am also sure that healers have an effect on the health of people. Wondering if their healing vibrations are at 40 hertz? I guess it can be measured?

[@corryjookit7818]

@@ferrygirl100 Yes.

[@classyog]

I'm a geriatric nurse.. I play music for my patients.. It amazes me how music changes their mood and brings up memories.. They may not remember every lyric but they can hum the tune..Music is amazing!!

[@karifoto]

You’re an angel. That’s so important and so needed 💙💙💙

[@venkatvyshu3275]

You r doing a great job Well done

[@Meandmymirror]

I want to be able to do this! But I’m not a nurse or a music therapist. I just want to volunteer to play the music of their youth

[@erikotrevor6782]

You look like EDP445

[@mamachasech4382]

Excellent. I believe music is very important to society

[@alanharvey5850]

Thanks for the positive feedback for this talk. I actually gave the talk on November 11th - Remembrance Day - hence the opening verse of No Man's Land.

[@ShermiseTatyana]

how do I cite your video in MLA format. I am researching a paper on your wonderful works of life.

[@corryjookit7818]

Music is my first love and it will be my love, music of the future and music of the past..

[@brainfm-relaxation]

Keep your brain healthy and young with music! "Whether you need to relax, increase your energy, improve your thinking, or just get motivated for the day, music can provide extra support when you need it the most,", according to Harvard Health.

[@helenbromley3618]

Wonderful! I'm a violin teacher and can relate to so much of what was shared. Thank you! As Bob Marley sang "one good thing about music when it hits, you feel no pain".

[@dboywhogotlucky]

what was the calming piece name in the middle of the video?

[@fetijajasari9522]

​@@dboywhogotlucky Air by J. S. Bach

[@lucario4399]

the best ever lecture i have seen on ted

[@mrski4945]

This is beautiful. With all the information he provides, with all the studies and proof of what music is capable of, I wonder why we as a society do not use music for more?

[@Sis4Real]

Love this scientistic explanation of music.

[@ummok5316]

Music is humanity’s soul

[@Lolcoca]

Music has two powers : one can analyze it in an intellectual way, that is to say the analysis of musical scores and another one touches the emotion without necessarily putting a word on it !

[@littlefoxwen]

This lecture inspired me a lot. Sometimes music can have the effect that language can't do.

[@neutrino1115]

One of the most fascinating lectures on TEDx! Thank you so much for delivering such a talk and choosing this topic!

[@RevelationNavigation]

This is so awesome! The right sounds HEAL and BALANCE our brains and bodies. Really grateful we can now create customized sound therapy from scanning over 10,000 frequencies in the voice from just a 10-second recording! Is anyone else here using the Inner Voice program on the AO Scan! It's EPIC. Unlimited in how many times a day you use it, can be loaded on your phone or computer, and you can help an unlimited amount of people too! It was a game changer for me. 😀

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

The earliest musical instruments that we know of all of us have today. Our bodies

[@harmonydreamers]

Love it! Watching the brain waves demonstration made me think how noise pollution effects us. I sometimes need headphones with calming music or ocean sounds. Thank you, music is my passion... Byron Lee Scott - Harmony Dreamers, music group. ✌️❤️🎧

[@angelocast]

My favorite TED TALK ever As a musician and music therapist, I love to see MASTER ALAN to show the REAL and not so considered POWER OF MUSIC applied on MENTAL HEALTH. Pay attention to what you listen, it may be guiding your life (FOR GOOD OR BAD)

[@talentzone8257]

That's the power of music. Loved the presentation. 💖🥰💝

[@deborabatista9383]

Overwhelmeld by this touching speech.

[@rickyhackett6703]

I feel that we get our intense love/feeling for music because it’s only been recently that its so readily available, in fact if you were living 200 years ago you would only ever hear your favourite song an average of 3 times in your whole life

[@rickyhackett6703]

We are still new to music

[@fetijajasari9522]

We humans had our own player, recorder or what ever-our own voice! People sung much, much more before radio and the latter developed devices turned many of us into listener rather than singer.

[@LindaGillanHEARTofLINDA]

Fabulous, entertaining and informative presentation, thank you Alan. May we see the inclusion and enjoyment of music reinstated in education and communities, to rebuild social connection and harmony around the world.

[@Good_at_clips]

My neck has a slipped disc. I have pain every day. I listen to a new Justice album and it gave me goosebumps and took my neck pain away and I was able to work all day with no pain. That’s why I’m looking into it.

[@hosamorfali3444]

Ive never enjoyed something more than this, I watched it two times, first to hear and observe second time to take notes, and theres definitely a third and fourth time 🙏🏻

Brilliant Lecture, Entertaining, Informative and Insightful. Perfect Example of a Good Lecture.

[@pedroferreiraferreira381]

NICE TALK. I WAS REALLY CURIOUS ON WHY MUSIC HAVE SUCH AN IMPACT IN MY LIFE, THANK YOU

[@DJKoollord]

amazing....I had to learn music theory and mute scary, and sad scenes in movies to understand that the music is the cause of feelings in cartoons, and movies.

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

And it's also the cause of countless of media manipulations... you're onto something ;)

[@carollienps77]

This is true! Music can affects our emotions and other aspects in life

[@anaghavarghese]

Thanks for demonstrating on the spot. 🤩✨

[@lucassousa1252]

The best Tedx Talks presentation

[@ojichinazom1877]

This is amazing, seeing how music really affects us all.

[@littlegreenpics]

When we make music, it feels like during that time the world is a better place.

[@corinadantes1711]

What a great talk! Congratulations.

[@johnwest3509]

thank you for an interesting and educational talk. I have been blessed for 38 years with a son who has music in him since a very young age and I can tell you that his music gives me emotions of happiness each and every day. I often weep at the beauty of his music which is an expression of his beautiful soul.

[@axelbriizt]

one of the best Ted talks i've ever heard!!

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

Music is not an art, it's a science. We are only re-discovering this.

[@zin_dnz]

Not an Art ? Keep your opinion to yourself It is both Art and Science combined

[@great-garden-watch]

Makes sense. All the musicians I know are science minded but also creative

[@mazadan]

I met. Eric once and what a joy

[@rickyhackett6703]

I’m 24 picked up a Takamine 2 years ago and have loved it ever since,

I wish I could know what views or opinion Mr. Alan Harvey has towards the musical standard tuning of 432.00 being changed to 440.00...I know what facts are, I'm looking for testimony. Thanks for the lesson TEDx Talks.

[@marcsantamaria4097]

I love music and this just confirms what many of us already know. But I married someone who has no interest in music. I wish we could connect through music, but it's just not going to happen. Honestly asking for advice. I'm not trying to change her, I just wish she knew the power of music. Thanks.

[@great-garden-watch]

Thanks for making me cry jeez. Well all irish music…

[@Meandmymirror]

I want to bring music to nursing homes by letting them put headphones on and then playing the music of their era. But I’m not a music therapist and I don’t even know how to begin to do what I want to do

[@vaidakas2684]

I think calming music should be used in the emergency rooms for patients who are sitting in pain and waiting for hours to see the doctor.

[@yoelczalas]

Thank you so much for that kind of content.

[@TerraExodus]

The sound of angels is most pleasing. Just don't get lost in the siren's song.

[@NormanPrather]

Fascinating talk about something I've been researching as a personal interest. Relatively recent life events led to the realization my experience of music is different from those around me. I've been astonished to learn music either reinforces or creates emotional experiences for most people. I've never experienced that and still find this difficult to comprehend.

[@dineshnaik3802]

BECAUSE OF MY TEACHER I AM HERE🖤🖤

[@Meandmymirror]

This was amazing! It’s like I knew all of that but I didn’t really understand why. I still don’t understand why I know the lyrics to so many songs.

[@axlcrush]

Music is universal because it is a medium for praise and worship of God.

[@nathan_valentino]

Best talk I have heard in a while; true gentleman!

[@carliecotton9219]

Just absolutely awesome!

[@ferrygirl100]

Oh gosh, I am from Perth, never knew about this. Sorry I missed it. Sadly my cats both react the same when I sing....almost the same reaction to the the badly played piece of music "Once a Jolly Swagman" when it was played. They cry and leave the room.

[@polapana4805]

I'm watching this because I'm planning to purchase Spotify premium to get approval that it'll be worth it.

[@jbridges399]

so this is why when I quit listening to music for days I feel my mental clarity go through the roof and I feel smarter

It’s so sad that music learning is not sort of every early childhood curriculum and primary learning

[@MySpaceDxC_Suffo_AtTheGates]

The US has mandatory music and recorder class. And then they let the students choose whether to go on to band or orchestra or not afterwards.

[@sujayasuj]

Interesting talk, music feeds the soul! What I am interested in knowing is does the electrodes also pick up the sound of the music played directly or it only reads the internal vibrations of the brain? Thank you, appreciate your knowledge and information Mr Harvey!

[@imb4u8debbu37]

[@qwer1234721]

Very inspiring!

[@philmanson2991]

Any time a movie score goes to a minor key, you know something bad is about to happen. I believe humans are hard-wired for music, even is some cannot sing nor play an instrument. We can tell when a sound is consonant or dissonant. Heck, the I-#5 interval was called the "Devil's Note" and was not sung for centuries!! Then, the 20th century dawned, and dissonance was cool: bebop, free jazz, prog rock, composers like Prokofiev and Stravinsky, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, the list is endless!

[@flightoficarus1]

Amazing!🤗

[@cristiansosa1512]
