Bigger Better Brains

🎶 Let’s tackle the first thorn in the side of music education. 🎶 “Music is only for the talented students who are interested in it.” Sound familiar? We hear this all too often, but here’s the truth: music learning is for everyone. 🧠 Every student, no matter their ability or interest, benefits from music learning. It builds resilience, focus, creativity, and cognitive growth – skills that shape success in all areas of life. The BBB+ Method helps you break through these misconceptions with research-backed tools that prove why music education is essential for all students.

We're wrapping up 2024 with our #BBBCountdown, highlighting our top posts from this year. Here's our fourth most popular post for the year: our response to the @Scholastic article written about debating music education, seen by over 120,000 people! Here's the original post, in case you missed it: 🎶✨ Debate is vital in education—it helps us address misconceptions and improve understanding. But when we frame discussions around whether a subject is “worth the money,” we miss the bigger picture: the holistic value every subject brings to a well-rounded education. 🌟 We're glad to see @scholastic listening to music teachers and removing the article questioning if kids should learn music in school. Let’s refocus the conversation on facts: decades of research has shown that music education builds bigger better brains. 🧠🎵 It boosts memory, enhances literacy and numeracy, and develops essential social and emotional skills. Students in music programs consistently show improved academic performance and confidence. Music isn’t just a subject—it’s a foundation for lifelong learning. Let’s celebrate and advocate for its place in every classroom! 🙌❤️ #MusicEducationMatters #BrainDevelopment #MusicForKids #BiggerBetterBrains #HolisticEducation #MusicTeachersUnite #NeuromusicalResearch #ArtsAdvocacy #EducationInnovation #MusicBuildsBrains
