"Music is the Universal Language of Mankind" Music is a language that everyone can understand without any intense studying or thought. Music from different countries can truly show the origins and roots of the Country where the music was developed. Even here in the U.S. we have plenty of different types of music. Now imagine how every single country in the world has he same. Music speaks for the Country where it originated and gives it its own language and feel. Sometimes you can understand a Country better just from listening to a certain selection of music form that area. Music is truly universal and can connect everyone and everything together

Music Instinct: I think its fascinating that babies can actually hear the music that is being played in the outside world surrounding them. Its even more amazing that they generate a response from it. However, I think analyzing music this much does take some of the magic away. Music is one of those things that we have not fully discovered and I like how it manages to be somewhat secretive on certain levels. So, when its analyzed this much it takes some of the joy out of it for me. I like music to be magical and spontaneous I don't want to hear something and now instantly why it makes me feel the way it does. I just want to enjoy the feeling I obtain by hearing it with no thoughts or logic behind it. Overall though the Dvd was very cool and broadened my understanding of music and its full capabilities. It was nice to see that music can help people with their illness's. That proves that music is much more powerful then the average person tends to think. It was also fascinating seeing the instruments that were created by the cavemen and seeing how they had to be rebuilt and put back together piece by piece.I was unaware of the fact that music was being played at this point in time in history.
