This presentation explores how instrumental practice and music education shape brain development and aging, drawing on recent scientific research and findings from Levine flute faculty member and neuroscientist Dr. Takeaki Miyamae’s own research in the field. In the performance segment, Dr. Miyamae will demonstrate how techniques of musical expression are intricately linked to auditory perception and how these interactions can create compelling auditory illusions, revealing music as a form of perceptual “magic.”
The program features solo flute performances by Dr. Miyamae, including Dvořák’s Humoresque and Ibert’s Piece for Flute Solo.
This lecture can serve as a jury alternative for adult students at Levine.
