Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stroke recovery with a song
Q: How does music help with rehabilitation of arm and leg movement?
Rhythm can support walking by helping the brain synchronize movement to a metronome set to the person's natural gait. Instruments such as drums can also encourage someone to lift and move an affected arm while focusing on playing.
Stroke recovery with a song
Q: How would you approach somebody who has lost their ability to sing or has lost some movement?
Simpson first learns what music the person enjoys and works with their rehabilitation team to match music activities to specific goals. For speech, she may use familiar songs, humming, harmonica breathing exercises and simple vocal exercises.
Diwali Downunder
Q: How can you tell? And if you can, what tips would you give to say, this is Northern Indian classical style, this is Southern Indian classical style?
Madhur says both traditions use the same ragas but differ in performance style. Northern Indian music relies heavily on improvisation and uses tabla, while Carnatic music includes more previously composed material and commonly features mridangam and violin.
Diwali Downunder
Q: Just remind us, what does Diwali celebrate in Indian culture?
Madhur describes Diwali as celebrating the victory of good over evil, especially the story of Lord Rama defeating Ravana and returning home.
Liz Carrington; Keeping Rotorua's Aria Prize on Song.
Q: Why is theatre, why is music? Because it's not the core, is it? When you go to school, it's not the core. Why is it so important?
Carrington says music and words are fundamental forms of human communication that connect people in real time and help them feel mindful and present.
