The Musical Brain and Impacts of Music Learning -- Part Two -- The Cerebral Symphony Orchestra

We live in a world deeply focused on competition and competitiveness. Policy-makers want to have the most skilled workforce possible to enhance productivity. Parents seek to equip their kids with "marketable skills," that will enable them to compete in a rapidly evolving technological environment. These pressures converge in public policy, leading to an education system that emphasizes STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). But what are we missing? At the foundation of all learning and all human achievement lies the human brain, and its infinitely complex and varied functions. Does our singular focus on a specific range of academic subjects fully prepare children's brains to achieve their maximum potential, even in those specific areas of future professional activity that we're training them for? Or is something else needed? Dr. Peter Gouzouasis will review his groundbreaking research showing the startling effect studying music has on students' achievements in subjects entirely outside the arts. His study of more than 110,000 students in British Columbia showed profound differences in the academic success of students who had studied music and those who had not. His work compellingly suggests not only deep neural interconnections between disciplines, but also that studying a musical instrument can play a role in supercharging the capacity of young people to excel across a broad range of academic areas. Dr. Peter Schneider will expand on these insights with compelling research into how music reshapes brain structures -- illuminating why music is such a potent catalyst for unlocking human potential. His research has revealed potential connections between musical processing capacities and neurodiverse conditions such as ADD, ADHD and dyslexia, which may provide future avenues of music-related therapeutic interventions.
