Goebbels and Horowitz
Joseph Goebbels is said to have been behind the choice of our current concert pitch being set to A=440. Leonard Horowitz is a promoter of this conspiracy theory. A little lesson in music history may assist the reader in deciding for themselves whether this is a probable theory or not. Does this relate to the ancient solfeggio frequencies? A lesson in both music history and music theory should help the reader make that determination.
Royal Rife
Who is Royal Rife? Back in the 1930’s, a man named Royal Rife (an inventor) invented a machine that aimed frequencies at cancer cells. Somehow, he figured out that each type of cancer has a different frequency. And, by subjecting the cancer cells to a frequency that was harmful to them, they…
Musical Frequencies and the Human Body
Musical frequencies resonate in the body while playing a musical instrument, especially wind instruments. Direct contact with the mouthpiece on either the teeth or lips makes it possible for wind players to “feel” the resonant frequencies within the body cavity. Evelyn Glennie, a deaf percussionist, demonstrates that it’s possible for deaf people to enjoy playing an instrument, too. Because musical frequencies vibrate within us, does this have an affect on the human body?
Music Therapy
What is music therapy? Simply put, music therapy is the use of music for “non-musical” treatment. Examples include playing music and setting up playlists for memory patients, music before or after surgery that a patient enjoys, and even for those with autism spectrum disorders. Several medical organizations are beginning to…

Since I began research on the subject of musical frequencies and how they affect us, I started listening to the sounds and pitches found in nature, the buzzing of power tools, the humming of household appliances, and even people singing without the aid of an accompanying instrument. When I found…
