[Oe List ...] Another reason to sing

[McCabe, Diann A]

Thanks for sending this, George.  Our common experience theme on campus for this year is "the whole mind: crossing boundaries of disciplines." The theme is based on Dan Pink's book, A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future.  Pink gave a talk on campus last fall-and on April 7 we'll have Sir Ken Robinson speak.  (Check out his TED Talk)  Sir Ken argues that creativity is as important as literacy, and we are leaving behind many who don't learn or fit the way our education systems (and rehab systems?) are designed to teach. Your article, especially the last sentence, complements his argument quite well.

All the best,
Diann McCabe, San Marcos, TX

BBC had an interesting article, Singing 'rewires' damaged brain, that should resonate with all of us.
