from Listen Up! Hosted by New Haven Symphony Orchestra

Cognitive neuroscientists have argued that the most common scales used around the world are actually so similar to human speech patterns that our ears are drawn to them naturally and can recognize different scale patterns as easily as we recognize words. Scales connect everything from Michael Jackson to Gregorian Chant... and link music from India to Indonesia to Indiana. Support the show
