Elements of Music
Concerto and full orchestra Strings, lute, bassoon, recorder, piccolo, violin, harpsichord
Fast-slow-fast tempo (60 beats/minute)
Fast rhythms capture and maintain attention
Slow rhythms entrain biological rhythms to support quiet, alert state
Melodic structure ranges from simple to complex
Mid-high spectral predominance
 
Clinical Applications 
Refinement of sensory modulation and postural activation
Poor auditory processing in complex environments
Difficulty discriminating background/foreground sounds
Sensitivity to sounds in higher frequency range, including speech
Refinement of attention, language, and academic skills
