🎶🧠 Music Learning & ADHD: The Science Behind the Benefits! 🧠🎶

Music teachers, did you know that music learning can have a profound impact on students with ADHD? Research shows that musicians develop stronger cognitive function, better inhibitory control, and improved sensorimotor timing—all areas where students with ADHD often struggle.

This powerful infographic, available in the BBB+ Membership Hub, breaks down how music training influences:
✅ Attention & working memory
✅ Rhythm perception & timing
✅ Neural pathways & connectivity
✅ Dopamine regulation

By incorporating music into their learning, students with ADHD can enhance focus, structure their thinking, and improve executive function - all while making music! 🎵✨

Congrats to my student Selina who just received a mark of 92% (honours) for her recent AMEB grade 4 musicianship exam.

I was recently awarded a pass with distinction for Trinity College London's Associate Diploma in music theory (AMusTCL). This diploma involved answering questions at an advanced level on: Bach chorale harmony, orchestration, 20th century melodic composition, 20th century popular harmony and also questions about a set work (Beethoven's 'Archduke' Piano trio).
