What if you didn’t have to be a scientist or a musician to use music in your everyday life? Every episode of Instru(mental) explores music psychology research and how it shapes your brain, your body, and your life. This podcast isn’t just about what music sounds like, it’s about what music does to you. Hosted by board-certified music therapist, Brea Murakami.
