Modulate Attention - BBBX

19 Sept

BBBX stands for BBB Explained. These videos are designed to focus on a single area of learning that music learning can enhance. We want to help parents, students and staff to better understand the impacts of music learning on brain development, so feel free to share these short videos through your social media feeds and emails.

This video is a great advocacy tool for explaining how music learning can develop attention modulation skills, like identifying what to pay attention to and learning to ignore other distractions.
