How music can future proof your brain | Neil Moore | TEDxJacksonville

[@11ThaoNguyen11]

Music as a tool for brain health and creativity? Sign me up! This talk was eye-opening.

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes it is! And thanks for your comments.

[@alanpotsypotts]

After listening to the many benefits of being musical I feel every child should be exposed to this valuable skill.

[@TheNeilMoore]

Thanks for your comment Alan, I couldn't agree more!

[@magnuskarlsonn]

The emphasis on creativity dominating the future hits home. Can't help but wonder if traditional approaches to education are keeping up with this changing landscape

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, creativity's role in the future will be dominant. And education will be transformed by the convergence of robotics, AI, and Augmented, Virtual and Artificial Reality

[@nicopetey]

It's cool to think learning music can help us navigate all the changes with technology that keep happening! Honestly I find all that stuff super overwhelming

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, music-learning has a new role to play. And yes, there's so much to consider with all the advances being made.

[@gog-gog]

His vision of our future with life on Mars and flying cars, virtual reality and AI blew me away.

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, and there's so much more to come.

[@graciasandlove]

Was so grateful to hear him say you don't need to start young to learn music. I know so many people who use that as an excuse!

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, anybody, at any age. Some of our students are in their 70s, 80s and 90s !

[@paigelpatterson]

Couldn't agree more about having to become the most creative versions of ourselves as a species, I really do think this will be a strong point in the future and we need to start focusing on it NOW while we're in the process of this societal evolution

[@TheNeilMoore]

I totally agree. Now is the perfect time, as you say "while we're in the process of this societal evolution," to start developing our creative capability. Thanks for commenting.

I love listening to [almost] all music genres and have been emotionally moved by listening to a live symphony. So yes, music does grow my brain.

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes it does. Thanks for your comment.

[@raulcassanova]

Einstein playing piano throughout his life and attributing intuition to it is an amazing insight! I love Einstein and I never heard that before

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, it's a little known fact. And, that he attributed music as the source of his breakthrough!!

[@blanchebosdet]

I just thought parents were pushy about getting their kids to learn instruments because it gives them an extra hobby but the fact that it does so much for your brain makes it so much more worthwhile for them!

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, so much more worthwhile.

[@High-Pink]

I appreciate the way he's breaking down a lot of myths around creativity and musicality, I think that's crucial for encouraging more people to explore music that we realize it's not something that needs to be gatekept...

[@TheNeilMoore]

Thanks for your comment. Definitely not something to bo gatekept.

[@busterbeansishere]

"Music is the language of the soul" I forget who said that lol but it's always resonated with me

[@TheNeilMoore]

A great quote. Thanks for sharing it.

[@BroadMarginGirl]

That bear thigh bone flute is incredible. I don't know why but it makes sense to me that we had music before we even had words

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, when we understand how incredibly musical speech is, it makes perfect sense that our musicality was the foundation on which language was built.

[@UrbanPotatoe]

Personally I'm convinced music is like the building blocks of reality. Like there's a hum to the universe that we should be trying to tune in to

[@TheNeilMoore]

Good one! Thanks for your comment.

[@theauthenticiamnow]

Intrigued by the concept of playing-based music education. It seems like a game-changer in terms of actually getting kids excited and happy for their music lessons. Hopefully this approach becomes more widespread because I can definitely see it working!

[@TheNeilMoore]

I agree, it is a game-changer, and we'll definitely see playing-based music education taking a far more prominent role in society.

[@xavierdistaple8620]

It's true, we've all got rhythm and melody in us, whether we're tapping our feet or clapping along, it's really not that hard for anyone to find their rhythm

[@TheNeilMoore]

Exactly. Music is a fundamental part of all of us. I appreciate your comment. Thanks.

[@cooltidbits]

I think he made such an important point that EVERYONE is profoundly musical, without exception. We gotta shed the belief that only some people are musical. It's simply not true!

[@TheNeilMoore]

Thanks for you comment, you're so right!!

[@sophiachandler4662]

I never knew music could reshape our brains and boost creativity! Hearing that playing an instrument is like brain training for problem-solving and creative thinking is really awesome.

It's crazy to think about all the iconic musicians out there and how they're basically super geniuses cause of what music did for their brains.

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes, maybe not 'super geniuses', but brain neuroscience show that their brains are different. More grey-matter, bigger auditory cortices, larger corpus callosum, more neural connectivity, as well as a range of functional differences. A more connected brain is a more creative-capable brain.

The flute made from a Cave Bear's thigh bone is such a unique visual! Connecting us to our musical past in a tangible way.

[@TheNeilMoore]

So unique, and yes, it very much connects us. And re-connecting to something that's so ancient, yet so naturally and profoundly human, is such an extraordinary opportunity.

[@colincampbell5068]

It's amazing to think that humans were playing music before we even had language! Kinda flips the script in terms of thinking about what our priorities were as we developed

[@TheNeilMoore]

It is amazing. There's such a fine line between obvious and oblivious. And in that respect, our speech is so incredibly musically obvious that we are oblivious to it.

[@thisisjustright]

Can we talk about how cool it is that making music uses practically every part of our brain?? Like dang, no wonder it has the potential to transform us in so many ways 🤯🧠

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yup, it's like a complete neuro-workout, like nothing else!! I loved how you said it, "...it has the potential to transform us in so many ways..."

[@SpeckledDude]

As someone who has always wanted to learn piano but felt discouraged by the old school approach, hearing about this new era of fun, accessible, playing-based learning gives me a lot of hope that maybe I'll just be able to teach myself!

[@TheNeilMoore]

Great to hear that you're open to restart. Playing-based learning is the way to go!

[@magaliegoulet]

Challenging the traditional view that you need a special talent to be musical is super important, I think that stops a lot of people which is sad in itself, that they don't think they have that special talent

[@TheNeilMoore]

You're so right, I very much agree with you.. Thanks for your input.

[@stealtheddefender]

I definitely did not know that music is the neurological nutrition that grows our creative ability and brains... Pretty amazing stuff!

[@TheNeilMoore]

Yes it is. Music has so much to contribute. We keep learning more and more about its impact and benefits

[@randisoh]

This reminds me of a time when I was working in a store that had little radios for all the staff to talk to each other and I paged for someone, and the customer I was serving was like "oh wow are you a singer?" Lol and I was so confused because no I am not. But he insisted that there was a rhythm and melody to my voice. He even gave me his card and was like I'm in a band, we need a singer, come and try out... it's a pretty huge regret that I never took that opportunity but it's still a lovely memory.

[@TheNeilMoore]

Great story. And these days, with playing-based music education, learning has never been easier, nor is it too late to start. Thanks for your comment.

[@lincolnholmes1933]

My mom wanted me to learn an instrument and I didn't so I asked for one of those big tubas you have to wear because I thought there's no way she'll find one and actually buy it lol but sure enough she made it happen... pretty grateful for it now.
