DOES MUSIC HELP ENHANCE THE BRAIN? Devon Terry Interact with kids at Building Block Daycare while playing music and see how it effects them.

WHY I CHOSE MY TOPIC?  The reason why I chose this topic is because music is such a big part in our generation.

RESEARCH I FOUND  In early to mid-20 th century, researchers began to extensively study memory  Music relaxes, energizes, comfort, keeps company, helps us celebrate and even helps mark special occasions.

RESEARCH I FOUND  Evidence that even babies inside the womb may benefit from soothing sounds of classic music. (July 1998)  Georgia Governor Zell Miller  Sponsored Sony Music Entertainment (no charge to tax payers)  Build Your Baby’s Brain Through the Power of Music

RESEARCH I FOUND  Studies have indicated that classical music helps memory-building exercise in patients suffering from Alzheimer’s.  Research has found that making a soundtrack of someone’s life before their mind is too damaged  Mozart

RESEARCH I FOUND  Further research showed that memory improvement may not be in the genre but in the tempo  Slow Classical and Jazz, Fast Jazz and Classical  Results proved that those who heard same throughout did better on the quiz

OBSTACLES I OVERCAME  Repeated information  Failed paper the first time because of margin errors  Gathering 150 notecards  Bringing my paper together from the notecards

SUCCESS  Completed the paper

LINK BETWEEN RESEARCH AND PRODUCT  The link between my topic and product is they both deal with music and the brain.
