The Neuroscience of Reading Music:

  Brain with Music behind it.


The Neuroscience of Reading Music:

Optimal Brain Development in Children Using Standard Music Notation


HOW DOES READING MUSIC IMPROVE THE BRAIN?

This groundbreaking book for music takes the reader into the human brain to discover the neural pathways for all music activities – including the essential neural pathways for composers, conductors, and all instrumental and vocal musicians who perform from printed music.

“The Neuroscience of Reading Music” explores numerous topics including:


    • What are the differences in the brain between “playing by ear” and “playing from notation?”

    • Why is it neurologically improbable that learning notation early harms or lessens music intelligence, as many educators currently believe?

    • What is the real role of music intelligence in reading music notation?

    • What is alphabetic logic and how can it speed up the note reading process?

    • Is simple-to-complex hierarchy neurologically necessary or just optional in learning notation?

    • How does whole body coordination affect learning abilities?

    • What is the similarity between reading notation and general classroom subjects?


    Moir shared her ideas and concerns with Howard Gardner, the eminent Harvard professor and widely accepted authority on the intelligences, who wrote the book Frames of Mind, the Theory of Multiple Intelligences (1983). 

    “You raise an interesting set of issues. Best wishes for the success of your book.”

    The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life

        The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life  God calls, and reveals mysteries each new day. Do you see and hear Him? As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on. What a beautiful sight! But not everyone will see this, and be ready to receive Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they almost lost everything they had, including access to the tree of life. One of those is the discerning power of God. This book, The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God's Discer...

    The Revenant's Mark

      The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...
