3 half hour session left on understanding the Brain! Here is another excerpt from the book!

                                                     Language

Thanks to music therapy Chloe is quite a talker. Music is processed like language in the brain.

 Music and language have areas of the brain that deal with rhythm, tempo and anticipation ending.

We hear music in our heads like we have self talk there too.

 Both music and language are auditory and have a written
 language.

There is hemisphere dominance or specialization in both
language and music.

Chloe learned language by hearing it but by the written word,
she understood it quicker.

 When we would have an emotional dispute we would discuss it on
a white board.

 At the start Chloe would understand what was said on the white
board faster than if we just discussed it.

 Now she understands the spoken and written word equally most
of the time.

Music therapy kept the language pathways open while we cleared
 up her pain issues.
 Now she can focus on language in both speaking and hearing it.
