New research shows that our brains react differently when we hear beautiful music compared to nonbeautiful music. Reward and visual brain areas light up with beauty, while more basic sensory areas respond to less appealing sounds. Music truly moves us! doi.org/10.1037/aca0000681

If you're planning for the new Year 7 intake in September, are you focusing on the right kind of knowledge? Being unable to verbally declare that 'there are two quavers in a crotchet' and that 'this is called a treble clef' does not define a new pupil's 'musical knowledge'.
This week's #ResearchShorts focuses on supporting secondary schools delivering music education 📣 Mark Phillips' research dives into assessing Year 7 pupils’ prior knowledge as they enter into Secondary, observing teaching and learning 🎶 🔗Read more: musicmark.org.uk/news/resear…
