Using vibrational sound therapy for healing sounds pretty darn appealing to me. Especially since I’ve been interested in and connected to sound all my life. In fact, I recall how fascinating it was when I first discovered tuning forks. Because it wasn’t just sound to me. The vibration and tone were like a secret connection to God. But is it … The rest of the story…

When it comes to brain health, give me songs, real songs, any day of the week. And I think it’s important to add that little reference to “real songs” because there are a lot of fake ones out there now. So, give me real songs, please, to help my brain. I’ve shared quite a bit of information, here on TonyFunderburk.com, … The rest of the story…
It’s such a blast to make music. I’ve been doing it since I was a little kid. I can remember getting a very small metal set of drums for my birthday when I was 5. At least I think it was my fifth birthday. But that’s not the point. The point is that I bet my parents and grandparents regretted … The rest of the story…
Music isn’t the only thing that makes you human. And it’s not even the main thing. But music is real. And that’s true even though it’s totally invisible and void. You can’t hold it, touch it, or physically feel it. So, it’s an amazing and complicated marker, among many markers, for what makes us human. Music is real and everybody … The rest of the story…
I’ve shared, a few times here on TonyFunderburk.com, how music can be good for your brain. And I’ve also talked about how music is good for heart healing. Like when I shared this info from a heart healing article: It said, “a study from Wisconsin evaluated 45 patients who had suffered heart attacks within the previous 72 hours.” I didn’t … The rest of the story…
A Harvard Health Publishing report from back in 2011 said “one out of three senior citizens suffers at least one fall during the course of a year.” I know you’re too young to be the one out of three. But someone you know might be that particular one out of three. So, if you care about their well-being, I suggest … The rest of the story…
A huge amount of people (maybe the majority), on social media, aren’t listening to music. Well, maybe that’s not the best place for research. Even though social media IS the source of all truth. But here’s why I mentioned it. Because listening to music is supposed to help your cognitive function. Could that possibly be true? Uh, yeah. Or else … The rest of the story…
Wouldn’t it be great if you could condense the time it takes to learn valuable information from 6 years down to just 6 weeks? And wouldn’t that be even cooler if you could do that early on in your life? If you answered yes to those questions, then you might like this quote I just saw on social media: “Homeschooling … The rest of the story…
Here’s some scientific research to get your day off on the left foot. And I promise, I’m not trying to fill your head with earworms or brain fog. I just think you should know how things really are in this life. Because my illuminated opinions might not be enough for some people. (I’m sure that’s not you. Right?) Check out … The rest of the story…
Love, peace, and music. I wish those for you. And now, let’s get down to business. No, I’m not smokin’ any halo tobacco. It doesn’t take a dope-smokin’, long-haired, hippy freak to talk about the finer parts of life. And, while we’re on the subject, that leads me into some of the benefits of Christian music. First, there’s no cursing. … The rest of the story…
Elgielene will back me up on this (and she’ll probably add how annoying it can be). But there are almost always notes and beats going on in my brain. And the annoying part (for others who can’t hear them) is how they manifest through my finger tips. Yeah, I tap out the notes and beats with my fingers. Virtually ALL … The rest of the story…
I’m biased (and also right) about this. Music makes us human. And “scientists” agree with me. So, there. OK, I’ll drop the attitude and share some gratitude. But there IS a lot of evidence that music makes us human. No, it’s obviously not the only thing. And not even the main thing. But music is an amazing and complicated marker, … The rest of the story…
95 years ago, today, October 6, a quirky little guy said, “”Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothing yet.” And the crowd went wild. You probably already know I’m talking about Al Jolson. And you probably already know he was the guy who made movie history when “The Jazz Singer” premiered as the first “talkie.” Yeah, after … The rest of the story…
Music is an aural expression of life. From babies in the womb to the silver-haired citizens, music is an amazingly comforting language. I’ve shared a lot of information about the health benefits of music and sound. But it doesn’t benefit only the listener. And I know this from a lifetime of aural expression. Whatever musical gifts and talents I have … The rest of the story…
Researchers and scientists are discovering more and more ways music therapy benefits your health. In fact, I’ve read several articles on the subject lately. And I notice how they say that doctors and caregivers integrate music into patient care a lot more these days. Hmm…music therapy benefits sick people. What a concept. And now, it seems, there’s an effort to … The rest of the story…
I hope you and I never get a brain injury. And no snippy remarks from the peanut gallery. You know who you are. But seriously, there are so many layers of problems when it comes to an injury of your mind’s muscle. And I found some info about how music can help someone with a brain injury. Yeah, this is … The rest of the story…
Here’s a short story about how music and memories are closely connected. My Dad didn’t really go for high-priced vehicles. In fact, I don’t think he ever bought a new car. But I do remember a couple of times he got fairly close. Like his ’66 Chrysler Newport. And if you’re not familiar with it, the Newport was closer to … The rest of the story…
Music is a drug. Yeah, some people would like you to believe that. And think of it that way. But I don’t believe that’s a healthy way to think of it. And I DO believe music is good for you. I read a quote, supposedly from Bob Marley, where he said “One good thing about music, when it hits you … The rest of the story…
Stress and anxiety. Ho-hum, no pro-blum. Right? So life’s a little stressful. And who cares about anxiety? You and I just sing in the face of such things. Like this… In case you can’t see the video copy and paste this link: https://youtu.be/lCE2JiPVkas Anyway… Most joking aside, stress and anxiety are real. And WAY too destructively real for WAY too many … The rest of the story…
I read another interesting article about health benefits from the elements of music. And this article used a couple of words you should never use if you don’t believe in our Creator God. A woman, named Barbara Else, who’s a senior advisor of policy and research at the American Music Therapy Association, said this… “We have a such a deep … The rest of the story…
