Is has long been known that music is medicine! Music has a remarkable ability not only to improve mood, reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure and improve sleep quality, we now know the possibilities of helping those with tinnitus, vertigo, hearing loss, and decreased cognitive function.

Music can activate the inner ear, and almost all brain regions.  Researchers have studied sound therapies ability to repair brain pathways and keep networks strong. These networks are involved in learning, cognitive function, behavior and overall well being. 

 Based on the discoveries of the ear specialist, Dr. Tomatis, specially recorded programs of highly filtered classical music are used to rehabilitate the ear and stimulate the brain. Sound Therapy stimulates the ear by presenting it with constantly alternating sounds of high and low frequencies embedded within the complex structure of classical music.

Research has concluded that sound therapy is an important aspect of cognitive therapy, and Marbles and Minds encourages all students to use one of the programs available.
