1 " One of the biggest insights from brain science has to do with how our memories are made. We used to think it was repetition, which many of us experienced during our education, as we were forced to write or recite things again and again. But it turns out that it is retrieval, not repetition, that makes the difference. For conceptual learning, the evidence is clear: it is the act of retrieval—having to recall something we’ve learned—that makes learning memorable. "

2 " A memory begins as an experience that we encode into our brain through our senses. That memory is then stored until we engage in some act of recall or recollection and then it comes back into our conscious awareness. "
3 " Music touches many regions of the brain to the point that musical memory is nearly indestructible. "
4 " Tying learning to music is so powerful that it has been harnessed as a tool for a variety of therapies. There are some incredible successstories with military veterans with traumatic brain injury, stroke victims, and people with autism. "
5 " We all hunger to become… to learn and improve and grow. "
