I found some awesome new ideas and information to share with you. In a seminar for music teachers just this week, I watched this short film about how music affects the brain.
Researchers have found, by using MRI and PET scans, that large portions of the entire brain show increased activity when a person listens to music. When that same person begins to play a musical instrument, it looks like fireworks going off inside the brain. It’s actually a great workout for your brain!
This science just confirms what we already knew—making music is extremely good for you!
So, get your fingers and your brain warmed up—it’s going to be a great year! I can’t wait to see you on August 23. Hurry up and get here,
Mrs. Dalrymple
