Music refines the taste, purifies the heart,
and elevates our nature.
It does more:
it soothes in sorrow, tranquillizes in passion,
and wears away the irritabilities of life.
It intensifies love,
it fires the patriotism,
and makes the altar of our devotion burn
with a purer, holier flame.

--W.W. Hall, M.D., Hall's Journal of Health for 1862.

 

The greatest benefits from therapy -
cognitive, emotional and social -
come from effortful engagement with music.

--William Forde Thompson and Gottfried Schlaug,
Scientific American Mind (March-April 2015)
