out music.an see which regions of the brain are active by following the blood. what charles found is by people improvising or composing, you would expect for something that is that complicated, would require so mineral resources, you would expect a primary finding in his would be lots of activation in particular areas of the brain. paradoxically what he found was deactivation in the prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain that is the editor, tell you that is not good enough, inhibiting you from blurting things out. the great improvisers had turned that part of their brain off. from your intuitions as a composer, science is a step behind art, but we were able to find that. just from a player's standpoint, as you develop your skills over time, maybe studied in school, self-pop, but you build up certain skills. when it comes time to improvise or sit down and start to work out something musical, sometimes you have to forget all that stuff. push it out of your mind. it is a handy tool to be able to

in arabic music.has basically five double strings and one single low string, and it has a fingerboard here that is fretless-- open fingerboard, and this is how the quartertone quality is being produced, because you can slide and produce all the sounds. [plays example] usually the oud is being played in the context of the small ensemble or a larger one as accompaniment to a vocalist or as a solo instrument. it's a very old instrument. it comes from the guitar family in persia. it's the ancestor of the lute and the guitar family. the oud is actually the most prominent instrument in arabic music, and it's as valuable as the piano for the western composer or performer. as far as i'm concerned, this is one of the greatest instruments in the world. it's very dear to me. ♪ her cheeks were like the lily white ♪ ♪ that bloom in yonder valley, oh. ♪ (narrator) the human voice is perhaps the most flexible of all instruments.

music has thiese musically reinforcing views.n a good piece of music, you have the elements of rhythm, pitch, harmony, meter, articulation, timbre, all working together, so that you may not remember every note, but the ones you do remember inform the missing ones. it becomes a pattern of multiple queues. that is one thing. the other thing we found interesting from girl imaging studies -- narrow imaging studies is when you are remembering a piece of music, it activates almost identical circuits as when you are hearing it. so much so when you compare the bring activation of someone in imagining music, remembering, to someone listening, it is virtually indistinguishable by looking at the brain scan. i wonder -- and brings up the question, how did it would you say your musical imagery is? when you imagine music, is it like a little tape playing in your head? >> yes, it is. and it works the other way, from the point of view from the composer, trying to compose something. i might be sitting on an airplane and i will remember some exper

classical music. hundreds of ragas each of which functions as a sort of recipe for the creation of composed and improvised melodies. [ensemble playing a raga] each raga possesses its own set of rules and is associated with a prevailing mood and time of day or season of performance. as in arabic classical music, melodies develop along a single line. a typical performance format includes a soloist-- either a singer or instrumentalist-- accompanied by drums called tabla and by a tambura, a long-necked, stringed instrument that is used to create a drone or continuous web of sound emphasizing the tonic or primary note of the raga. indian music is totally melodic, but we cannot just go on producing any melody that comes to our mind. it is guided by certain rules and framework. when we play classical music, it has got to conform to one raga or the other. our music has the same 12 notes that occur in your piano keyboard in one octave. in any piece of music, the first the do, or let us call it the tonic, must

(slobin) musical transmission means learning and teaching music. music continues because people teach it to each other. kids learn music when they grow up. [low-pitched humming] all of us have learned songs simply because they were there in the atmosphere. we may have learned them from family members, which is extremely common. [violin plays] where is this? i can't even see it. (slobin) we may have learned them from teachers, which happens in organized school systems. we may have learned them from records, radios, recordings which is, of course, probably the most common way we hear things these days. but we are constantly hearing and learning music from the minute we're born. (brown) some societies organize it very formally. for example, in indian classical music, you spend years apprentice to a guru. you move into the guru's house, and you have lessons every day for several hours, and you do things a thousand times. [drumming and chanting] in some other cultures, it's less formally organized. in africa, you might learn music as a kid. you grow up

between musics of europe, and musics of africa. you have, in the caribbe, types of music that e very cle to african ptypes. in rumba, especily the best known example rumba guaguanco you have a couple's dance. man and woman dance together in a dance that pantomimes courtship. the man attempts to get close to thwoma the woman coquetshly dances arou him and avoids his efforts (translator) the won that's dancing mes this waynd that. she covers herself so that she doesn't get impregnated. (averill) in rumba, you have a clave. the clave pattern is the key to the rhythmic structure of the ensemble. in rumba guaguanco the clave sounds like this: [claps] the first side, if you divide this pattern in half, has three beats. and the second half has two beats. and this is an asymmetric pattern and its asymmetry is critical to the sound of the entire ensemble. the musicians have to take this key and relate their drumbeats to this fundamental pattern th structures the entire musical ensemble. african musics and afro-caribbean music have had a pro
