Sound Pathways: How Musical Experiences Shape Learning Potential (Ep 23)
In this captivating episode of 'For Your Ears from the Early Years,' Sue Newman, co-founder of Boogie Mites, shares her inspiring journey from the corporate world to creating a transformative music education program backed by neuroscience research.
Sue's experience with her children led her to cofound Boogie Mites, an innovative approach that harnesses music's 'whole brain workout' capabilities. Sue explains the evidence-based ABCD methodology—active attention, Boosting the brain, Community cohesion, and Daily dose—and how these principles support children's cognitive, physical, and emotional development.
Drawing inspiration from neuroscientists Dr. Nina Kraus and Dr. Anita Collins, Sue reveals how music activates every brain region and serves as a 'privileged portal to memory.' The conversation highlights Boogie Mites' inclusive approach, making music accessible to children of all abilities, backgrounds, and developmental stages. Sue also shares how their program enhances literacy, mathematics, and social-emotional skills.
The episode explores Boogie Mites' comprehensive teacher training opportunities, equipping educators with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to implement effective music activities. Sue also discusses their affiliate opportunities, including their international expansion with licensees now in Australia, Qatar, Hong Kong, Singapore, and China.
This episode will transform your thoughts about music's role in young children's development and wellbeing.
