Quantum Physics has revealed what many ancient cultures and wisdom schools already knew. We live in a mutable universe. The static model is no longer valid; we need to reform education to match advances in brain-based research indicating music as source code of light and reality. Musical intelligence is the best way for children of all ages to learn and grow, as evidenced from infants to elders, whose memory of old songs actually can bypass the brain affected by old age and restore not only memory but identity and joy in living as well.

Viewing the cultures of four different types of West Coast early learning environments in the United States through the eyes of the teachers themselves, variables important to lifelong evolution of musical talents and the metacognitive benefits of music and movement will be explored and synthesized. Brain-based research in recent years has revealed just how important musical experiences in early life might be to establishing healthy and holistic patterns of learning (Louv, 2005, 2008; NIH, 2012; Nager & Shapiro, 2000; Restak, 2004, 2005). By analyzing and synthesizing theories of open systems with ecological systems theories, multiple intelligences theories, and theories about the innate force of inner motivation and the power of movement and musically informed play, a new lens or world view can emerge to aid in understanding and utilizing holistic learning.

This KAM explores theories of intelligence, learning, and motivation to attempt a better understanding of the many interacting factors affecting the lifetime development of whole and happy children in the 21st century. The focus is on justifying the increased use of music as an art form in early childhood education. The Breadth component analyzes Elkind's (2001, 2007) theories on the power of play and Brofenbrenner's (1969, 1993) theories on ecological systems. These theories are synthesized with Gardner's (2000, 2006) theories of multiple intelligences, particularly musical intelligence. Musical intelligence is considered as one of the most important ingredients in a recipe for wholeness, stimulating both the joy of learning and the desire to be a whole and creative individual. The Depth section explores current brain-based research models and the application component offers a free framework and sample grant proposal for any individual or community to implement.

Photos are worth a thousand words. Here is a short picture therapy book for those who are denied access to nature and natural places, especially children raised in concrete jungles and in generational poverty.

26 Poems for the Dolphin and the Children, A COMPILATION of poetry by the author. She was chosen five years in a row as one of 33 poets out of millions for the 3 CD set The Sound of Poetry on poetry.com, attending the poet's convention at Disney World in Orlando Florida in 2004 as an honored poet because her poem was to have been presented in Hollywood CA the year before but that conference was cancelled. Here is alphabet Book One of some of her favorite poems, helping young children learn to read with experiments in color and design that will eventually become songs and even video games with photos of natural places and ways to preserve ancient ways and cultures.
