“Music belongs to everyone and is necessary for healthy human development.”
Dr. Paul Dennison’s Brain Gym
-laterality repatterning-attitude toward school & self-
esteem
“Movement is the door to learning.”-
Paul Dennison, Ph.D.
TPR*instant understanding*long-term retention
*stress-free
Dr. James Asher
“Everyone is surprised when disadvantaged
children who experience difficulty in class after class at a traditional
school, enjoy success in a TPR class. These students
experience the exhilaration of being
competitive with all the ‘A’ students.”
Cleanup
Set the mood
Teaching that combines music
with language arts instruction can be the most effective.
Physical Activity and the Brain
“Evidence is mounting that each person’s
capacity to master new and remember old
information is improved by biological changes in the brain
brought on by physical activity.”
Dr. John Ratey, A User’s Guide to the Brain
Movement Anchors Learning
through the Body
Movement Makes
Learning Fun!
“Kids pay better attention to their
subjects when they’ve been
physically active.”
Dr. Antronette Yancey
“Kids are less likely to be
disruptive in terms of their classroom
behavior when they’re active.”Dr. Antronette Yancey
“Kids feel better about themselves, have higher
self-esteem, less depression, less anxiety-
all of those things can impair academic performance and attentiveness.”Dr. Antronette Yancey
Movement Energizes & Integrates
the Body and Brain for Optimal
Learning.
Exercise enhances
learning and memory.
The Left and Right
Brain
The main theme to emerge... is that there appear to be two modes of thinking, verbal and nonverbal,
represented rather separately in left and right hemispheres respectively and that our education system, as well as
science in general, tends to neglect the nonverbal form of intellect. What it comes down to is that modern society
discriminates against the right hemisphere.
-Roger Sperry (1973)
“Cross-training for the brain”

Oooooh, that’s Oprah!
Left-Brain Learning Styles
-prefer to work alone with little distraction-appreciate sequence
-like individual assignments (not group)
-like logical math and word skills-prefer to write or speak
Right-Brain Learning Styles
-can’t sit still for long-more responsive in informal
settings
-prefer groups-imaginative/intuitive
-artistic (music/drawing)
-good visual/spatial skills-good hand-eye coordination
Warnings about your right-brained learners:
-have difficulty processing verbal input
-NOT GOOD “LISTENERS!”
-can get overwhelmed by auditory input
-Use visuals.-Combine work and play like
Mozart did!-When and where do you get
YOUR best ideas?
