Not Exactly Music

By: Kent S Godfrey
  • Summary

  • Kent S Godfrey explores multisensory tone, rhythm, melody, and harmony. This podcast connects subjects including dance, music, education, Deaf studies, autism, sensory studies, and linguistics. When the combination of tone, rhythm, melody, and harmony is experienced through sound it is called music; through movement: dance; through vision: visual art; and through taste: cuisine. Every song can be experienced multisensorily. Every sensation has an equal equivalent in other senses. This research provides a theoretical basis for teaching tone, rhythm, melody, and harmony to autistic people who have a sensitivity to sound and to Deaf people through senses in addition to sound, thereby giving them greater access to the myriad benefits associated with the concept “music." This podcast creates a paradigm shift in how people understand their world. It is for anyone who likes to think deeply. For more information check out www.KentSGodfrey.com
