MUSIC AND THE BRAIN
Implications to the future of the study of music, the study of the relationship between music and applied medical science, and the study of the effects of brain function and development in relationship to the study of music, may be directly influenced by the introduction of the foundation musical primer course teaching students basic music building blocks as a Mathematical Science of Structural Form & Motion.

In the Numeric Language of Music Primer Course, music is introduced to the student by the core structural form of musical concepts.  The structural form building blocks of information are then combined with principles of music performance.

In the Numeric Language of Music, students demonstrate an immediate understanding of how to compose music.  The music compositions of many students included advanced, complex vocabulary not introduced in the initial lessons.  Presented with the same information, the compositions created were unique to each individual.

The majority of research conducted studying the relationship between music and the brain has been predominantly harnessed to the results of the study of conventional music education curriculum. 

By altering the functional role of the alphabetic and numeric symbols in the core of the new course as a foundation, different information is presented to the minds of music students.  By presenting different information to the mind of students learning to play music, a critical piece of data in the scientific research equation is fundamentally altered.

Professionals in cognitive science suggest the brain is the language organ of the human species.  My research suggests the Numeric Language of Music may be the innate, inherent language of the brain.  Preliminary analysis indicates the brain, when presented with the Numeric Language of Music, may have the capacity to compose the music it needs to heal itself (Music the Remedial Language of the Brain, an Exploratory Thesis ). 

The Numeric Language of Music is not age restricted.  Students have ranged in age from 4 years old to 86 years old.

Implementing the new primer course in K-12 may enhance the development of gray matter in the brain, simultaneously increasing the speed at which children accelerate in additional academic studies. 

Implementing the Numeric Language of Music primer course into the research equation in medical and scientific research offers new potential to unlock knowledge of the relationship between music and the brain.
