Rhythms of Learning: Creative Tools for Developing Lifelong Skills

Tune into how your students learn! Promote a learning environment that is non-stressful and focused by using music to help learners synchronize their brains and bodies. Specific activities for teachers precede and complement the student activities. Learn how to discover the best learning modes of your students, develop emotional intelligence by exploring personal rhythms, use music, art, movement, and drama to promote optimal learning states, use effective rhythms of presentation in your teaching, and use the methods of Lozanov and Tomatis and the techniques of accelerated learning.
