Music helps me to relate to other people.
Ever thought music could be more than just a pleasant sound? In this episode, Kris Warren, a passionate documentary filmmaker and music artist, takes us on an enlightening journey into the world of Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) and its impact on Parkinson's disease. Kris stumbled upon the therapeutic potential of music by accident, penning a song about how music was his therapy without realizing it could be a scientifically-backed treatment.
This revelation sparked his quest across the USA to interview experts for his upcoming documentary, 'Music Is My Therapy'. Kris is joined by Professor Michael Thaut from Colorado State University, whose groundbreaking research delves into how the brain processes music and its application in neurological rehabilitation. Together, they explore how NMT can improve cognitive, sensory, and motor functions in patients with Parkinson's.
Imagine using the rhythm of a drumbeat to enhance mobility or a melody to sharpen memory—these are just some of the fascinating applications of NMT. The episode also features insights from other experts like Al Bumanis, Amy Clements-Cortes, Corene P. Hurt-Thaut, Deforia Lane, and William B. Thomas. They share their experiences and the tangible benefits they've observed in patients undergoing NMT.
From live sessions with Parkinson's patients to heartwarming success stories, Kris's documentary aims to raise awareness and inspire action towards supporting music therapy research. Kris emphasizes the importance of finding certified NMT practitioners and encourages listeners to support his film project, which seeks to bring this powerful therapy into the spotlight. If you're curious about how music can transform lives and want to support a cause that marries art with science, this episode is a must-listen.
