This unique course explores the cognitive and physiological impacts of music on aging, drawing from multiple disciplines and requiring no prior musical background.

By signing up for one session in this series, you are signing up for all five sessions. It is recommended, but not required, to attend all five sessions in the series as the course materials builds on each previous session.

Sessions are Monday, Sept. 23 & 30; Monday Oct. 7, 14, & 21.

In recent years, interest has greatly expanded to account for music's cognitive connections, or the way music can alter our body composition for the better.

To say that the implications for this research on healthy aging are significant is an understatement.

This course discusses the relationship between music and our cognitive processes as we age, drawing on elements from physics, neuroscience, psychology, as well as examples from history.

Previous musical experience is not necessary.
