JoyTunes (the creators of Piano Maesto & DustBusters) posted a fun fact on their website the other day.  Guess what!?  It relates to a post from last week: pianist's have more efficient brains!  See it here!!

♪ Check it out: This Is How Music Changes Your Brain

This article was published about a year ago, but I "re-found" it when doing my graduate thesis research!  Active music students are increasing their grey matter (bigger brains!), growing their volcabularies, improving their memory, and more!

I have been a fan of TED Talks for a long time, and this summer I learned about TedEd!  They are short lessons: about a 5min video with questions and forums directed at what you learn!

I found one about physics and guitar; did you know that everything you do to make different sounds on your instrument can be explained with science?!?
