I used to listen to a tape of Murray playing Beethoven over and over when I was like in junior high. I think hearing positive music does something to our chemical makeup that can alter us for the better. I took a class called osteophonie in college that helped students feel sound vibrations in various parts of their bodies. Sound waves 'hit' us everywhere; it just kind of depends on how strong they are vs how sensitive we are in our bodies to feel that. Thanks for the post!

What a great blog, Carrie!
It made me think about singers, who frequently talk about the resonating skull. Some vocal teachers even keep a model skeleton in the studio to demonstrate! Certainly, playing a violin can make our bones resonate, it transmits directly. Sometimes, if I'm holding a coffee cup while a student is playing, I can feel the vibrations as well, or they transmit into the fiddle I'm holding.
Music is a very physical phenomenon!

That's great writing, very descriptive! I especially like the woman in front of you with the " loooong neck". I visualize her sort of like a dancing giraffe. Thanks.
