Did you hear us? YMPG members Hauke Egermann, Diana Kayser and Mimi O'Neill were live on BBC Radio 3's Music Matters show with Kate Molleson as the resident lab scientists. We were discussing two experiments that we conducted in conjunction with the BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival 2019.

Listen out for YMPG members on BBC Radio 3 this weekend discussing music and emotion and sharing results from a couple of recent studies on the topic.
'Kate Molleson gets emotional at the Free Thinking Festival for this live special. We explore an audience’s emotional response to live music in the Music Matters Lab, a partnership with the York Music Psychology Group from the University of York. The group’s director Hauke Egermann joins Kate to reveal results from a specially-designed experiment. Plus, pianist Steven Osborne discusses the emotional meaning of music and the role of emotion in performance.'

Hauke's been quoted in the Science section of the Telegraph in an article which says that parents have a small window between the ages of eight and 10 where they can influence their children’s music taste.
Dr Hauke Egermann, a lecture in music at the University of York and director of the YMPG, carried out a literature review into more than a dozen studies looking at parental musical influence.
“Children have an ‘openness’ to new music, and this means parents have an important role to play in developing the musical preferences of their kids,” he said.However, time is of the essence, as parental influence is most likely to be effective during the critical time period before age 10, when puberty begins.During adolescence, children tend to gravitate away from their parents’ choices and are more influenced by their peers.”
