“…Through this resonance, interpersonal relationships can develop and grow stronger, which then produces positive emotional experiences within the group. Participating in social activities together, more broadly speaking, plays an important role in activating the motivation and reward systems in the human brain, but emotional experience is also functionally relevant to genes (Bauer, 2008). Accordingly, the activation of the genes that are responsible for the mirror neurons and the reward system is directly linked to the positive resonance experiences between a person and their fellow human beings (McGowan et al, 2009).…”

“…The resultant release of dopamine and the body's own opioids elicits feelings of euphoria in our emotional centres and increase our vitality and enjoyment of life. In addition, positive interactions of all sorts promote the synthesis of the hormone oxytocin, which contributes significantly to the development and maintenance of stable relationships through the cultivation of our social memory (Bauer, 2008). Oxytocin ensures that these experiences (singing and dancing, for example), in combination with their associated good feelings, are stored in the body's emotional centres (Insel & Fernald, 2004).…”

“…When people 'tune in' to one another, that is, they begin to resonate (ibid.). The network of the mirror neurons and motivation systems is 'hardwired' at birth, though it is necessary to activate both of them (Bauer, 2006(Bauer, , 2008. In the absence of activation, our functionality is impaired, and our ability to form attachments and trust in the viability of our relationships remains limited.…”

“…Mirror neurons and motivation systems are activated via genes, and research has shown that genes are activated in turn by external signals, which vary in their impact (Bauer, 2008). Interpersonal experiences affect the genes that determine our spiritual state.…”

“…Psychopathology has an interpersonal genesis; that is, the patient's problems are a result of a failed relationship (see also Bauer 2006Bauer , 2008 this means that the mirror neurons and motivation systems are not sufficiently active and that there is a lack of dopamine and oxytocin). 2.…”

Musical Life Stories: Narratives on Health Musicking

Music Therapy Perspectives

Foreword: To Music's Health Gary AnsdellRecently I was on a panel suggesting career options for music students at a London university. The other panel members talked about working in music education, broadcasting, events management, and digital media. (Performing was strangely absent -presumably because most musicians can't make a career out of this now!) I talked about music therapy for ten minutes, and the students seemed interested. But when the discussion part of the evening arrived I wasn't asked a single question. At first I felt embarrassed, but then I remembered some previous occasions... and sure enough, after the formal event finished there was a line of students waiting to talk to me. Most of them didn't have a question as such; rather, they wanted to tell me their 'musical life stories'. An Indian student had been traumatically summoned to her mother's deathbed in India, but by the time she got home the mother was in a coma. The student was an expert in traditional singing, inspired by her mother's love of this style. When the daughter sang the mother came out of coma enough for mother and daughter to have vital hours of farewell. Another man simply looked me in the eye and said, "My life just fell apart -and music saved me. When I looked around with new eyes and ears I realised that it saves many other people too, so I now feel this is my vocation. What do I do?".These musical life stories were too intimate for the public forum that evening. But although the people who wanted to talk to me had particularly intense musical stories, I felt that these 'musical miracles' were just the tip of the iceberg of a spectrum of more everyday experiences, uses, and understandings about how music helps people in and through their lives. They also perhaps illustrated a distinct and strengthening area of interest and understanding for a generation of people for whom 'music and health' or 'music therapy' are not strange associations of words and experiences (as they were perhaps up to twenty years ago in the modern West). There seems to be a new and serious interest to understand, and to make available, the musical basis of wellbeing.Signs of this are appearing both in academic and popular culture. Conferences are springing up around the world on themes linking music, health and wellbeing, whilst 4 Gary Ansdell cultural organisations such as orchestras are promoting musical events for their wellbeing as well as their aesthetic value. Reality TV shows present choirs tackling social issues, whilst films, plays, and novels increasingly use this trope as a plot device. To cite just one recent example, no less that Vanessa Redgrave stars in Song for Marion, a film where a woman with cancer experiences the therapeutic value of a local community choir, whilst her husband (played by Terence Stamp) continues to experience the personal and socially redemptive powers of musicking after her death. It seems that music and musicking have become both a metaphor and an enactment of the complexities and dramas of social life -its ha...
