Documentary+Info

I got this info today from PBS about a documentary called Science and Song. Thought the class might be interested.

Dear Friend of the Celebration, Join viewers across the country when science and song weave together in //**THE MUSIC INSTINCT: SCIENCE & SONG**// -- a two-hour PBS documentary which explores startling new connections being made between music and the human mind, body, and the natural world. It follows researchers from a variety of fields as they use groundbreaking techniques and technologies to unravel age-old mysteries about music's persistence, universality and power to both move and heal.

During the week of June 22nd, PBS stations around the country will be airing //**THE MUSIC INSTINCT: SCIENCE AND SONG**//, hosted by Bobby McFerrin and Daniel Levitin. Many of you heard Daniel Levitin at the Celebration of Teaching & Learning in March, and here's the scoop: acclaimed musician and singer **Bobby McFerrin** has agreed to be one of our keynote speakers at the 5th annual Celebration of Teaching & Learning on **March 5-6, 2010**!
