Michael Moshan is a respected entrepreneur who has created edutainment series such as "Rock the SAT,” which places SAT test vocabulary within the context of song lyrics. Michael Moshan’s work as co-executive producer has included creating the original music that is used in building students’ vocabularies.
The close connection between music and learning has been demonstrated in numerous studies. A recent University of Edinburgh study found that basic movement performed to music, while a simple task is being learned, helps develops cognitive centers within the brain.
In particular, the practice of this music-related movement affected those parts of the brain that control movement and sound processing. This enhanced structural connectivity provides the wiring for different cells to better communicate with each other.
A conclusion of this study is that this connection could help rebuild structural elements of brains that have suffered impairment. This finding could be critical in enabling patients who have lost a limited degree of movement control to regain mobility.
