[This article is a post-airing update to the 2-14-12 "What's the Big Idea?" on Western Reserve PBS NEOtropolis]
On February 14, 2012 NEOtropolis covered "The Languages of Expression". The "What's the Big Idea?" segment talked about the power of music in the workplace - and beyond.
Usually we think of music as pleasant or entertaining. Well, it can be both of those things and much, much more. Like the power of the smile, expression through music transcends language. Science is telling us that music is essential to physical & cognitive health, and that it can be a useful tool in the workplace.
Below are the articles and resources mentioned during the segment.
