What part of our body makes it possible for us to recognize music,

[MANGLER]

Ears obviously. But also your heart. We studied this in psychology when I was in college. Your heart will actually synchronize itself to beat to the rhythm of the music you're listenin to. I've tried it. It works.

A part of brain whose name escapes my memory. Probably somewhere around frontal lobe.

The temporal lobe of the brain. It governs the majority of the auditory functions in the Primary Auditory Cortex which is located there. MRI scans show activity all across the human brain while listening to music though. There is a lot of activity in the cerebral cortex in the frontal and parietal lobes. Different things like tone, pitch, volume, etc are all processed differently and not solely in one region of the brain.

Yeah, know that, took psychology like 3 years ago and they were explaining that a lot. Also noted that hearing generally is a more complex function then seeing.
