-
- Education
Professor Alan Harvey is a world-leading neuroscientist, author and passionate musician. A graduate of Cambridge University and Australian National University, Alan has over 200 major publications including his 2017 book Music, Evolution and The Harmony of Souls - a sweeping inter-disciplinary look into the importance of music in human evolution and its continued relevance in modern society. Alan recently delivered a series of talks and workshops at Scotch College, exploring the connection between music and cognitive development in young people.
In this episode, we discuss many topics close to Alan's heart including the universality of music, music education and the increasing neuroscientific evidence for the many benefits associated with social music-making. We were also lucky to be joined by our colleague, Jenny Sullivan, Scotch College's Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 Music Curriculum Coordinator.
