1. Music as storytelling - with Kate Simko

If you’ve ever screamed your heart out at karaoke or shed a tear to a ballad, you’ll know that music is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. It’s the soundtrack to falling in love, falling out of love and everything in between. It’s the audio backdrop of summer festivals, nights out and every other important moment in your life.   
But why does it have this effect on us? Why does learning to play an instrument or listening to music have such an enriching effect on our lives? Benefits of Music is a new podcast by Yamaha Music Europe, hosted by Zing Tsjeng, that explores the ins and outs of making and listening to your favourite tunes. From the science behind a feel-good band session to the communal roots of rave culture, join me as I talk to a fascinating lineup of experts to understand exactly why music tickles the ear and enriches the soul.
