The Surprising Link Between Music and Intelligence
What does music have to do with intelligence and brain power? It turns out, quite a lot! Through my research for Super Genius Society I've discovered that if I want to boost my kids' intelligence and cognitive development, I don't need to rely on new technology or screens. Instead, music education, and more specifically learning to play a musical instrument is incredibly effective. I came across an MIT study on the benefits of music to cognitive development conducted in 2020 which revealed that it’s not coding which increases brain power, but learning to play music. Whether singing or playing an instrument, making music is highly beneficial for young minds, for all minds in fact.
In this blog post, I introduce Super Genius Society, a bold new take on learning, creativity, and rebellion. Inspired by my life and experiences and most importantly, by my two brilliant kids! I share why education should be more about curiosity, wonder, and play rather than a grade. Super Genius Society is a space where the arts take center stage, and learning becomes a joyful act of defiance. Come along and see how we're turning curiosity into a creative revolution!
Discover how a love for music and a desire for cultural enrichment inspired the creation of the first addition to the Introduction Collection, Music Vol. 1. Here I share the journey from personal family musical experiment to a broader mission, focusing on expanding musical palates, exploring the history of music and supplementing cultural education for kids and adults alike.
