From: MARK TRAMO To: "Dahl, Kristine" Bcc: ' ' Subject: Fwd: To Prof Chandler re: Neuroscience & The Arts Seminar Outline - attached Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 06:36:20 +0000 Attachments: ToDrChandlerFromDrTramo.SeminarOutline20180325a.docx Greetings, Kris - Checking in - I've been working on my proposal thanks to a generous grant to The Institute for Music & Brain Science and have cleared the decks for April to write while I'm embedded in my Music Mind & Brain and Neuroscience & the Arts seminars at UCLA...I hope you don't mind getting some Bcc's I think you might be interested in along the way (including the atttached)... I've been wondering whether I should write the music/brain book or "Music, Health & Medicine" book first, and whether to do the music/brain book as a first person journey of discovery from my age 9 gig playing "top of the pops" at the '64-'65 World's Fair through the Riverdale/Yale theatre/rock years to the incredibly good fortune of having first-ballot hall-of-famers David Hubel, Mike Gazzaniga, and Fred Plum as brain professors to stubbornly insisting on bringing music into hard-core neuroscience (and vice-versa) to helping Sandy Blakeslee with her NYT Science Times cover piece that brought the field into the public eye on to building The Institute for Music & Brain Science with The Beatles' George Martin, one of The Weavers (who became PhD bioacoustician!), Debbie Gibson's manager, the Harvard brain surgeon/piano prodigy who chaired the board of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the President of the New England Conservatory of Music, and the Nobel Laureate/flutist/pianist/Babe Ruth of Neuroscience who wrote in his autobiography, "I wouldn't trade the love of Bach instilled in me by my grade school piano teacher for any degree of success in science." hoping to touch base and talk with you week after next... Cheers, Mark Mark Jude Tramo, MD PhD Dept of Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Dept of Musicology, UCLA
