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.

The Library was designed by the firm of Bull, Stockwell, and Allen. The architectural style is that of the 19th century railroad yard in Tiburon.
The site is part of the landfill of the 1890s done to create the railroad yard. Windows frame views of the marsh lands and Old St. Hilary's Open Space preserve.
The expanded library was designed by Brown Reynolds Watford Architecture and added approximately 9,000 square feet, bringing the total size of the library to about 19,500 square feet.
