It's true that when a musician picks up an instrument, sparks go off in their brain when they play that instrument. I enjoyed watching the video as it helped me understand that when I play my guitar I tend to come up with something a lot more quickly than when I draw. The difference being that when we listen to a song our brains pick up on the rhythm, melody, time-signature, and percussion more quickly than normally. This can be with any genre of music. Rock, Metal, Progressive Metal, Instrumental, Indie, Acoustic, Folk, whatever style of music one listens to, their brain works to find the key area when they start tapping the music. I greatly enjoyed this video and hope to look at it again!]]> 2017-02-15 16:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154077922 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154191976

I like how the video goes into detail in how the brain actually works in listening to music and playing it. The video also tells us the brains' interpretation of sound and rhythm to combine and make what we call music. The study proves that intelligence can be linked to many things we never even thought of. With that being said, who knows what else is out there that helps our brain power. Being a musician is often overlooked and is now gaining the credibility they deserve. I like new discoveries, especially in intelligence. It's not all about books and school, it's about everything.]]> 2017-02-16 01:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154203214 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154227682 I had watched this video twice because I found it very interesting that, being a musician myself, I could connect the way I know my brain works with what was being said – especially that about memory. I had always seen my brain as a filing cabinet that stored easily recalled information as that information is tagged into my memory by concept, emotion, and audio just as the video mentioned. This video gave me a great insight of how both sides of the brain are triggered when playing a musical instrument. It encourages me to further develop my musical intelligence as I am interested to see how that will affect all areas of my intelligence thus, all areas of my life.]]> 2017-02-16 06:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154227682 jongomes1998 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154421793 You truly will NEVER hear somebody say that they hate music. Watching the TED-Ed video showed me that having an introduction to music (learning) is very beneficial to some people. 
Being one who knows how to play an instrument I can say that it has helped me academically, socially, and creatively in my everyday life. Playing music strengthens the functions in our brains to allow us to apply that strength to other activities. It helps us plan more efficiently, pay attention to detail and more. For those who are musicians, they act/respond differently when  it comes to certain  activities
 and that's what makes them stand out. Musicians are highly intelligent and 
those who are exposed to music show enhancement in certain tasks/areas. This video really helped me learn more about myself and why I am who I am today.

I always knew that listening to music is beneficial to the brain but after discovering that playing a instrument increases the linguistic and mathematical precision; that makes me want to play an instrument. I remember I was reading an article about different cultural music and this man name Billy Joel said  “I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.” That quote says a lot about what just listening to music can do, but what I'm trying to say is imagine what playing an instrument can do. Our brains and are perspective on things will change completely for the better of us and our society.]]> 2017-02-16 19:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154431770 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154634312 It's cazy to think just how little we know about our own brains.]]> 2017-02-17 16:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154634312 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154677215 I thought the TED ED video made a lot of sense. I played piano as a kid, and all through high school. Now that I no longer play an instrument, I can tell there's a difference in how quickly I absorb information. My piano teacher would talk to me about muscle memory, and how I could master a song by playing it over and over, versus reading sheet music over and over, and I would remember it much longer. I definitely think that playing an instrument sharpens the brain and in the video they even compared it to the equivalent of a full body work out. Very cool video on the connection between the brain and music. I also watched the orangutan video and thought it was very interesting. It shows more examples of the different ways to learn, and proves that such methods are not always exclusive to humans.

I like to write music as a hobby and up until this point and had never questioned as to why my thought process and writing abilities would come easier when creating music rather than creating an essay for a English class. I can't help but wonder if music is considered a form of art, what would be way that artist think compared to a musicians?]]> 2017-02-18 03:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154721391 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154724756 2017-02-18 06:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154724756 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154724757 I found this Ted talk really interesting and I have heard before that musicians' brains are wired differently than a person who is not a musician. I was in band class in middle school and parts of highschool, I played the clarinet. I notice now looking back that I automatically interpreted the notes it didn't really take me much thought I would just play it, it was muscle memory and when I would look at the key signature to see if there was any sharps or flats it would process which notes should be played a certain. After watching this I can definitely see how playing an instrument benefits one's brain. And relating it to the multiple intelligences becoming a musician can strengthen you in many for instance one could have a weak kinesthetic intelligence but after learning to play an instrument where you have to have good posture and certainly good hands. Kinesthetic intelligence could strengthen. Music also requires a lot of emotion you need to judge if the musical piece is going to give the audience a certain feel. So interpersonal intelligence will also be strengthened

People who tend to be more analytical and prefer to work in areas that require deep logical thinking tend to use that portion of their brain. Whereas individuals that like to work in creative arts tend to use the opposite hemisphere of their brain. If you can regularly find a way to engage both at the same time it would only make sense that you would have a brain that is more well-rounded and can move between hemispheres or engage both with a sense of ease. The brain like many other things in the body becomes stronger the more it is engaged. Think of it like an athlete that is very strong at running and works extensively on their lower body strength, but does not regularly work their upper body, is going to have a stronger lower body and a thin and relatively weak upper body. If they only engage their upper body they will lack lower body strength have a thinner and weaker lower body. Then there are individuals who works their entire body more regularly which would, in theory, have a much better overall fitness level and be strong in both the upper and lower body. If you think about exercise for the brain in this matter, a person who uses more of their brain on a regular basis is going to have a much better mental fitness.

I wonder if there is anything else that you could do that would make your whole brain be used the why that music makes your brain be used. It makes sense as to how I can remember my favorite songs even if I haven't heard them in years. It also makes me wonder what part of the brain we use when we do day to day things like walk and talk.]]> 2017-02-19 04:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154772850 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154773623 After watching the TED video, it was interesting to know that the brain works completely different for those who play an instrument, rather than those who don't. The connection I was able to make with the video, was that I tried learning how to play the guitar, but then impatiently gave up right away. This possibly has to do with the person’s brain capacity to learn and process things in a tolerant way. ]]> 2017-02-19 04:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154773623 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154775192 It's a really interesting concept that learning and practicing music is so influential over one's mind. I would have never connected the bridge between playing a guitar and the ability to retain memories better. Going back to the lessons it really begs the question of what other kinds of mental workouts influence other kinds of intelligence.   ]]> 2017-02-19 06:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154775192 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154775505 I enjoyed the high amount of depth they went into in this video. The idea that something a lot of people wouldn't think as important hones your brain is interesting. It really asks the question of what other kinds of mental exercises positively influence the mind. As we learned in class musical intelligence influences the ability to play an instrument but the video taught us that it also helps with memory and plan making.

I have met with lots of musicians and i was wondered how do they manage all these stuffs . They are good students , They are good human being , they have sharp knowledge . My guitar teacher he is playing guitar almost 33 years and he is the man you can't get any wrong answer if you ask him any music related question. Now when i was watching Ted-video i am really shocked. i cause i was thinking exact this thing before that may be musician's brain work differently . I read ,watched lots musician's documentary and i didn't find any musician who is doing good music without hard work. A musician works so hard . In a song you have to play lots of note and maintain metronome . In a 5 min. song a musician play that song smoothly . if he do any mistake and any wrong note or any bit miss whole song will be messed up. This perfection won't come easily . they are practicing scale so many years. Now this video is saying the exact thing . Actually there is saying "nothing is impossible" . Actually musician's brain are not different by born . They make it . Because they work hard , they didn't give up and now they are different. This video is now increasing my interest in playing much more . If you really wanna be success use your brain.

I never really got into playing any type of instrument but from my experience, listening to music really helps me make any task more enjoyable. I find it interesting that music does something like that to your brain even though we did not evolve to like music. The way our brain reacts to music has no evolutionary advantage, yet, it still fires up like that when music is played.

When i learn to play a song i practice it over and over until i get it right, then my brain never forgets it again. It saves it like a hard drive.

Unfortunately, I never really got into it and stopped playing after a couple of months. However, this video makes me wonder what would be different about me if I decided to continue playing. The benefits of playing an instrument seem to be both socially and academically useful. It really is magical how music resonates with our emotions. And there always seems to be a perfect song to listen to no matter how you're feeling. I also thought it was interesting how playing an instrument improves precision and strength in your linguistic and mathematical portions of your brain. I have no interest in learning how to play an instrument but I have a deep appreciation for those who have a passion for playing music. ]]> 2017-02-19 19:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154817588 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154818609 After watching the TED-ed video, I was amazed on how brain work.

It makes sense that playing an instrument lights up many different parts of the brain because you have to use many different abilities to play an instrument (muscle movement, rhythm, pitch, tempo, etc.). I found it very intriguing that playing music strengthens the Corpus Callosum and even creates new ways the two hemispheres of the brain communicate with each other. I think playing an instrument will greatly increase your ability to solve problems and learn new things in the real world and a scholastic environment. Increasing your intelligence in the "Musical" area may also strengthen one of the eight other intelligences. ]]> 2017-02-19 20:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154823880 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154827678 I believe that there are many connections from the video and our discussion about multiple intelligence. The video describes how musicians' brains use multiple parts of their brain and in return, multiple intelligences. I personally feel when athletes play a sport, they use multiple intellegences to play, interact with teammates, game plans, all of it takes lots of difference parts of the brain instead of just one. Both sports and Music are good examples of tasks that require alot of different brain use and skills. I found it very interesting how much little we know about our brain how much i continue to learn while in school.]]> 2017-02-19 21:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154827678 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154828827 After watching the Ted Talk I can conclude that there is definitely multiple intelligences inside the human brain. Our brains have a large collection of intel gathering file cabinets that store and manage tons of information and memories. People that play instruments interpret life and other simple concepts differently than a people with different skill sets. The brain of someone with music playing backgrounds is structured differently than someone with a different set of skills as well. I conclude this by stating, that I agree with Anita Collins and her hypothesis on how Music skills effect other aspects on how the human brain functions.

Since I’ve stopped I can honestly say that the ability to remember things since then has decreased. Graduating in 2011, I waited 6 years to pick up my clarinet and see what I could remember. The Ted talk video explained how playing an instrument is like a full body workout. I 100% agree! Having to use visual, motor, and auditory parts of your brain can explain how it gets a workout. People that have an increased amount of musical intelligence end up having a greater understanding of solving problem and math problem.

I myself play a couple of instruments, but when i was in elementary school, I played the clarinet and during that time I was able to read music. Now everything I learn is by picture(tabs) or videos. It all make sense when it mentions how musicians have a good memory and how it can be used for other curriculum. Playing music tabs into all of the senses.

I found this video a relief to listen to because I've actually always thought that people who find it easy to learn an instrument are very smart.

The video was smooth, and conveyed their premises with ease, and supported each statement with putative science. I've been inspired to do more research and perhaps pick up an instrument to further foster my ol noggin. I see relation to our topic of multiple intelligence because the brain utilizes multiple disciplines of the human mind to coalesce copious, unorganized stimuli into a harmonious conglomeration. Motor, auditory, and visual, reception and ability to outwardly express these perceptions are intelligence on their own. Put these disciplines together and we have one of the many entities not a lot of us could live without. ]]> 2017-02-20 01:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154843055 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154843228 After watching the TED talk video I was very interested in the video and how it gave me a better understanding on how our brains work with musical instruments.

My uncle has been playing music since he was little kid and now i can fully understand what goes through his head when i see him so concentrated in what he does. its crazy how this video explains exactly what goes on their brain when playing in instrument and the difference when hearing it. I believe that not only do these musicians were given talent, but they have that intelligence in their brain where they can multitask, and have a really good memory. and i found it interesting how playing for them is like an exercise to their bodies! crazy what each human brain can do and the intelligence each person has.

When I learned how to play an instrument I had to learn how to make certain notes, how to discipline my body to sustain the notes. Not only that I then had to learn to read music and memorize the language. This doesn't include the  requirements to be a good musician. You then have to understand what message your sending to the audience, and then you need to figure out your unique way of playing and incorporate that to be entertaining. So just that simple practice engages an entire spectrum of brain mechanics that can be used in many aspects of life. We need to find ways to create in your own way, that way you can expand your brain capacity, to both learn and express.]]> 2017-02-20 01:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154844749 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154845697 Being a musician myself, I completely agree with this video and the things it talks about when it comes to the different ways that musicians think and how our brain is wired. When I play a piece, I get so emotionally involved and put my heart and soul into it. I not only think about the music, but the message I want others to get out of it and how I want others to feel when the piece is over. I also think that music does increase a persons memory. Being in marching band and memorizing a 12 minute long piece, memorizing your UIL music, and memorizing a solo to try and make it to state is a big accomplishment, and working at the memory aspect of it really helps when it comes to other aspects of my life.

Music also involves more that just moving your fingers to make notes come out of an instrument. It also includes being able to think the same way that those around you are in order to make the piece that you are playing mesh well and not sound like a train wreck. The group effort that is put in isn't only good for ourselves but for the group as a whole.]]> 2017-02-20 01:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154845697 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154846165 This video was very interesting. I 100% agree that playing an instrument does help with you containing any type of information. My little sister used to play the trumpet and before she started doing, she was struggling in school. However, after she joined band, there was a improvement in her grades but none of us knew why. I find it very interesting that this is possibly the reason why. To be able to succeed in the music field, you have to be able to multi task, which we all think we can do until you see this video and realize what multi tasking really is. It is crazy how an individual can do so much with something so little. The brain is a very interesting topic.]]> 2017-02-20 02:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154846165 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154846593 d]]> 2017-02-20 02:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154846593 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154847006 After watching the TED ED video i regretted not learning to play an instrument when i had the opportunity.

After watching the Ted Ed video I can relate every day task that i feel i do better at, to listening to music, such as homework. I wish now that I had been able to really learn an instrument. It amazes me all the things your brain is capable of interpreting. It also helped me understand why my boyfriend who is a musician seems to have such good memory and seems to pick up everything so quickly. Maybe I should ask him to teach me something. ]]> 2017-02-20 02:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154847257 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154848378 This TED video brings to light on how music effects the brain. After watching the video, I was able to comprehend how it works. For example, out of my siblings, I have a brother that is musically inclined and was also pretty smart. Unlike me I'm more of the athletic type, so I would have the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence rather than the musical intelligence like my brother. ]]> 2017-02-20 02:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154848378 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154848577 it seems that musicians use many types of intelligence during their practice of their instruments. because of this, they are constantly practicing on many types of intelligence at once which makes doing many other things effectively much easier thanks to their practice.]]> 2017-02-20 02:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154848577 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154850073 The TED-ed video was really interesting to me because I can relate how the brain works when I listen to music.

I wasn't aware of how stimulated our brain becomes by learning how to play an instrument and playing music. I probably would've learned, had I know. Musicians are great at strategizing, planning and quick at solving problems. Which is very apparent, it takes each of those skills to be one of the greats. Those skills were closely related to music intelligence.]]> 2017-02-20 03:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154852540 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154852642 I would have never known all these facts about musicians. It was very neat listening to this video. It’s quite amazing how playing music can exercise parts all over your entire brain.  I feel this video was a great example to use showing how one thing can affect more than just one of the 8 intelligences we learned about in the last class.

This brain-system reflects our discussion about multiple intelligence's: just as the musicians access multiple areas of the brain at once, individuals have access to every type of intelligence, but based on our strengths we practice certain ones more than others. However, our own intelligence is a unique combination of every intelligence accessed in every area of the brain; just as the music listeners took different parts of the music to create one understanding of it, we do likewise with our intelligence. ]]> 2017-02-20 03:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154853586 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154854001 2017-02-20 03:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154854001 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154854117 The different branches of intelligence are what I heard from our  conversation and this video.

I now have an Idea on the positive effects of playing an instrument. That even animals can learn a complicated task by simply observing a human.

I love how it showed and explain how much of an effect music can have on the brain. I, myself, played the clarinet for 5 years and I can definitely say from experience that I felt like I could pick up the music after just planning it a few times. Being able to pick up music, can help you when it comes to having to learn and memorize different stuff. Also, I believe that it can help you when it comes to having to multitask. In general, your intelligence will definitely improve.]]> 2017-02-20 03:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154854665 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154860625 This TED-talk made me a little depressed but also enlightened.

Musicians really do have lots of brain activity going on than the average person. The fact that playing music is the equivalent of a full body workout for the brain blows my mind. By studying a little bit more how it is that different activities ignite our brains to function much more efficiently, we can be more well informed and understand just how great the potential of our brains is.

I cannot say with experience about the topic since I do not play an instrument, but after the video I can see how music uses all parts of the brain to analyze it and have it make sense to you. It make both sides of the brain work together and makes you brain work sharper to use. It is difficult for a great number of people to play an instrument since it requires multiple ways to use your brain, it can be amazing to remember that something seemingly simple like playing music can be ever so complicated and an exercise on the brain]]> 2017-02-20 15:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154950922 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154992292 After watching the TED video, I realized how much goes into making music. I have always been really big into music and I know its not easy, but it was interesting to learn how music works out all areas of the brain. I've played percussion and guitar before but never stuck with it, I wish I had. Regardless though I love music and always have. Music calms me down, when I'm depressed, or stressed, or mad, or even when my anxiety gets bad, listening to music always helps me.]]> 2017-02-20 18:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/154992292 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155034152 I thought the video was really interesting. As a musician, I can see how our brains learn how to do a task quickly and efficiently. When I first picked up the French Horn, I didn't a thing about the instrument, or how to read the music. But as the years past, it became easier to play music and to make it sound really good. I think that having a larger music intelligence would help out with the other intelligences. Since playing an instrument 
you learn to add different things into the music, which makes you use more of your brain. You can then use these ew skills to help other intelligences. I have always loved playing the French Horn, but now I am grateful for put 6 years into it.]]> 2017-02-21 00:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155034152 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155036761 I saw a lot of connections that supported the fact that we have multiple intelligences. Learning how to play an instrument can be frustrating, not getting it right wanting it to be perfect like the music in your head. It truly is a workout like the video said. I can see now how the memory of someone who has played an instrument is advanced there are notes to learn, positions, rhythms, embouchures for those notes and tempo. Then putting it all together and actually pulling it off. After doing it so many times its hard to forget. Therefore, the video definitely backs up what Howard Gardner said about muliple intelligence. Its crazy that it takes every part of our brain to play and well learn how to play an instrument that would explain why it can be so frustrating. This video definietly opened my eyes to see why i think the way i do.

As they said in the video, playing music has been found to strengthen the brains corpus callosum, which is the bridge between the two sides of your brain. Therefore making the bridge faster and more complex, making it easier to send messages back in forth.]]> 2017-02-21 01:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155040318 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155048707 This TED ED video was very interesting to me, it gave me a better understanding on how the intellectual brain works and processes music. I am now aware that playing an instrument engages every area of the brain at once, but mostly the visual, auditory, and motor. Musicians have higher levels of executive function, they tend to have better memory than people who dont play an instrument. They retrive and store memory more quickly and efficiently than others.

As an musician for 8 years now I have noticed since starting I retain more focus concentrate easier and have had a better memory of things that pertain to music and academics. It also has help me learn to multitask as the video says. Music can make a huge difference and I believe its especially noticeable if the child or student starts at a young age. My brother had problems all throughout school but once he joined band he calmed down and focused more and seemed to actually mature a bit. My cousin who is three as well takes piano lessons and he is the smartest three year old I have ever met. There is something about playing music that really sparks something in our brains and I think its something everyone should give a shot.]]> 2017-02-21 03:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155050929 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155051865 It really amazes me how musician brain's work. I have a friend who can sing and play several instruments. Now i see why when we plan certain things he thinks about them more deeply or suggest things that nobody else were thinking of. I believe its something you were born to do. Its a skill set that was given at birth. I also believe that musicians learn easier i wouldn't say that they're smarter but every friend that i know that plays an instrument are pretty smart. I believe playing an instrument is a talent given too you like being an athlete.

As a person who listens to music frequently, it is interesting to learn what happens to my brain while i am doing it. I personally have never learned to play an instrument. However my brother has been in band for seven years and it can be said that he is really smart. Now that i know that playing or learning how to play an instrument can basically "work out" your brain. I am very interested in learning how to play an instrument. Its also interesting how music can open up the brain more, perhaps there are ways in the future that music can help students learn better in the classroom. ]]> 2017-02-21 03:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155052097 https://padlet.com/kathrynortiz81/ywe11nsc3t1x/wish/155053417 As I've gotten older I've heard more and more how important music is in brain development.
