Document Summary
Midline-separates the two hemispheres, important to cross midline for movement activities. Music replicates the reading process, exercises and reinforces neurons on both sides of the brain. Students have to be able to track left to right (reading words and notation), visual exercises in the classroom can strengthen this skill. Hearing a piece of music for the first time) Hippocampus-area in charge of the working memory, use of repetition to transfer from sensory to working memory.
