Resonant Minds:

The Transformative Power of Music, One Note at a Time captures how music shapes our cognitive, emotional, and social experiences. Featuring contributors including Goldie Hawn, Bena Kallick, and Ellen Galinsky, we explore music’s influence on the brain, communities, and capacity for connection. Mindful action, not just passive nor visceral reactive listening, expands and deepens the influence of music.

Authors share research, practical insights, and personal stories to enhance understanding of music’s influence on executive functions like planning, decision-making, and problem-solving. Through the emotional resonance of a favorite song or the cognitive sharpening tied to memory through singing, music builds stronger, more resilient minds. Music is a universal connector that transcends socioeconomic barriers and bridges the gap among English language learners, neurotypical and neurodivergent minds.

Resonant Minds calls for a movement of significant scale, connecting music, mindful action, executive function, and technology. The nexus among those elements creates exciting and new possibilities. For parents, educators, and other curious minds, Resonant Minds provides guidance on integrating music into daily routines, educational settings, and community activities—making it accessible for all ages. Join us in discovery, exploration, construction, and joy as we connect the possibilities of music and mindfulness, one note at a time.
