Music is a timeless, universal language that has managed to transcend communication
barriers and connect humanity with a force greater than words alone. What exactly
does the human mind contribute to this phenomenon? Both creating music and teaching
it involve an immense amount of brain activity. Understanding how to optimally harness
the brain's power can tremendously improve one's pedagogical efficacy and musical
cognition. Lynn Helding, who serves as coordinator of vocology and voice pedagogy
as well as professor of voice at University of Southern California, offers insight
