"Throw away the dots and just use your ears" - Music Professor Adam Ockelford
As our Back To School season continues, we explore intuitive musical talent with the help of Professor Adam Ockelford.
Adam works alongside children with visual impairment and autism and their innate musicality never fails to excite him. He talks to Lauren about how music predates language, involves both sides of the brain, and can be harnessed to help people with learning difficulties, dementia, or a stutter.
He also remembers a hugely successful TED Talk, with the pianist Derek Paravinci, and shares a personal insight into the career path of a young Mark King.
