Unleashing the brain’s potential<br />

Learning to music is not only relaxing and enjoyable, it is also highly effective.<br />

Recent research accounts for this in two main ways.<br />

Firstly, music primes the neural networks and puts the learner into the optimum<br />

state of consciousness for learning, the so-called Alpha state; relaxed but at the<br />

same time receptive.<br />

Also, music engages and stimulates both the right and left hemispheres of the<br />

brain, allowing ‘whole brain learning’ processes. Traditional teaching practice<br />

has tended to favour the left hemisphere of the brain which is more concerned<br />

with logic, mathematical thinking, reading and the rules of grammar –<br />

discounting the value of the senses and emotions in the learning process. By<br />

tapping into the auditory cortex, the area responsible for processing and storing<br />

sound waves, and to some extent evoking an emotional response through music<br />

and dialogue, earworms engages the right hemisphere, unleashing more<br />

learning potential.<br />
