The Use of Musically Relevant Vibrational Stimuli in Improving Children's' Musical Learning

The art of music is one that is steeped in tradition. From techniques of composition and performance to methods of music theory, learning musical skills have typically been based on historically accepted procedures passed on from one generation to the next. In the fifteenth century, early theorists such as Gaffurio produced written works with the purpose of transmitting ancient Greek ideas of music to their contemporary musical societies. Soon after, figures such as Guido and Zarlino built upon these collections of knowledge and developed their own procedures of teaching music to students of music. Even today, much education in music is based on traditional lesson plans and pedagogical techniques that have a strong historical foundation.
