Danske Orkesterdirigenter og vores Videncenter for Direktion, og Musik i Norden via sit Nordisk Videncenter for Amatørmusik er kommet i kontakt med et stort forskernetværk i hele verden.
På den 7. verdenskonference THE NEUROSCIENCES AND MUSIC – CONNECTING WITH MUSIC ACROSS THE LIFESPAN i Aarhus i Danmark i juni 2021 blev præsenteret 55 forskningsresultater. Teknisk set skete det fysisk onsite i Aarhus Musikhus og med forskere online fra hele verden, forskere der arbejder på forskellige universiteter i projekter med børn, unge, voksne og ældre, og forskellige diagnosegrupper.
Efter hver konference udarbejdes en videnskabelig bog, men her nogle korte hovedpunkter fra forskere til inspiration:
– singing is the most universal means of music making an ideal paradigm for investigating the genetic basis of music abilities
– music is a social phenomenon, in that we listen to, synchronize to, and make music together. This makes it a fine-tuned instance of coordinated human interaction that involves interpersonal synchronization, social entrainment, improvisation, memorization and musical communication, and may serve as model for social cognition in general
– a meaningful human life is not only characterised by survival but also by thriving and flourishing, which is strongly driven by social interactions
– we interact with music before we are born and throughout our life. This interaction with music and between people is constrained by the culture in which we are born and embedded
