SPEAKER LUNCHEON

Dr. Timothy Cruz
 Medical Doctor and Professor at Pima Community College and the UA School of Medicine
 
The Biology of Music

Why do certain songs resonate on a core level, providing comfort to heal or producing various emotions?

Music plays a therapeutic role in healing and wellness, as well as bringing pleasure to the ears and soul. Dr. Cruz will describe the new and expanding frontiers of biomusicality – the biology of music – through a discussion of neurophysiology, cognitive processes, and structural components of memory and emotion. Don’t let the scientific words daunt you; the talk is intended to give us an awareness of how music affects each one of us on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level, and how that process might help us to heal and stay well.

Dr. Cruz teaches undergraduate Anatomy and Physiology at Pima Community College in addition to being a Clinical Associate Professor in Pediatrics at the UA College of Medicine. As an undergraduate, he studied Biological Sciences at Stanford University, attended the UCLA School of Medicine, and completed a residency in pediatrics at the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center.  He began playing violin when he was nine; during medical school, residency, and clinical practice, Dr. Cruz played with the Santa Monica Symphony for eleven seasons.

Please join us for this informative presentation to kick off a new year of learning and camaraderie!
