Translating "Knowing" Into "Feeling" At A Dave Matthews Band Concert

In this post entitled "Taking a Deep Musical Breath: Feeling What I Know", Robert Woody, professor at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, discusses the connection of what we know in music to what we feel.      He analyzes why a recent experience at a Dave Matthews concert effected him in such a profound way,  and described the experience as "personal, emotional, and soulful", recognizing that those words were even inadequate to describe the experience.  Read his post to discover how he describes the heart of music as he sees it.

Check out this non-profit music organization, Ear Candy, that is instrumental (pardon the pun) in supporting music education.  How is this accomplished?  By supplying kids with instruments!  You can participate as a donor of instruments or money, or as a teacher.  Be sure to watch the TED link that features founder, Nate Anderson.
