I recently learned of something similar and was fortunate enough to meet the man, Milford Graves, involved in that research – not at MIT, but in a basement in Queens.  Harvard and others are taking notice … and someone close to me too, is hoping to benefit from this unconventional, innovative use of music and medicine.  Known now as Professor Graves, he once played with Albert Ayler and Paul Bley in the 60’s and 70’s during the NY avant-garde jazz scene.  He’s still very much a drummer – but has focused his work on exploring how music can help heal the human heart.  Professor Graves also sees a clear connection between “what and how” we hear, and how that affects our body.  Interesting articles:  <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4510912" rel="nofollow">npr.org</a> | <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/09/nyregion/09beat.html?ex=1257742800&en=b43cff77c9ef2cd4&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland" rel="nofollow">nytimes.com</a> Again, thanks for your insightful blog topic – this is how we learn right? Communications, connections and inclusion … Thanks again!
