I help children,

Music pedagogy teaches more than music. It teaches genuine, deep respect for hard work and for self. Combined with attention control techniques, and exercises that develop the frontal lobe, music is a potent development tool in this era of inattention.

amateurs,

Music is joy. I have led half a dozen choirs over the last two decades. This one was called Endorphin Noise Group, members could not read sheet music. It operated and continuously improved for nearly a decade, gave concerts quarterly, and created many friendships lasting for a lifetime.

I graduated from the prestigious Franz Liszt Music Academy. I have been the faculty lead of a music theory in St. Stefan Conservatory for six years and had students from Hungary, Switzerland and the US, many of whom now work as professional pianists, percussionists. or conductors.

Inspired by the Kodály and Kokas methods, I help students experience music as a living, joyful language — felt through the body, voice, and community.

The complexity and simultaneous nature of these exercises must be adapted to the learner's ability.

These not only improve musical abilities - these are attention and coordination exercises NOT seen anywhere else. Not in sports, not in other art forms. Some therapies use them.

Combine this with community, collaboration, and music becomes the most powerful development tool that our children desperately need in this era of inattention.

The Symphony of Self-Regulation

Rewiring Attention and Executive Control through Integrated Art and Movement

Our integrated program shifts the paradigm of neurological training, offering a dynamic and engaging path to elevated Executive Function (EF) and attention, suitable for both groups and individuals. Rooted in developmental kinesiology, Music Therapy protocols, and Integrated Art Therapy (Kokas method), we combine structured motor-cognitive stacking that rebuilds core brain networks with classic music pedagogy that grounds the work in musicality and provides clear, observable milestones that build the child’s self-respect.

Sessions are active, joy-driven, and highly engaging, leveraging the natural human impulse for rhythm, movement, and creativity. By embedding rigorous cognitive challenges—such as Musical Executive Function Training (MEFT), Dual-Tasking (DT) protocols , and complex sequencing drills—within full-body music and integrated art therapy (choir, body percussion, rhythmic movement, and visual planning exercises), we ensure high participation willingness and maximize neural plasticity.

The result is a demonstrable leap in crucial EF skills, including inhibitory control, working memory capacity, and adaptive planning, leading to measurable improvements in focus, emotional regulation, and functional independence. Crucially, participants also experience a significant and organic enhancement of instrument-agnostic musicality, particularly the precision of rhythm and temporal processing. These acquired skills directly reinforce the neural systems governing planning, sequencing, and the structured processing of time, thereby deepening cognitive coherence and providing lasting, effective tools for self-regulation.

Research on combined physical and mental exercises:

"Effective protocols must balance physical exertion with cognitive challenge. While meta-analytic evidence supports the beneficial effects of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on executive functions in school-aged children, the critical factor appears to be the cognitive load imposed by the activity.

Physical activity is most effective when it is cognitively engaging. Interventions that utilize low- and moderate-intensity physical activity have been shown to positively impact overall cognitive function and executive skills. This observation suggests that the critical ingredient for frontal lobe enhancement is not the cardiovascular intensity itself, but the requirement for complex movement planning, simultaneous cognitive manipulation, and self-monitoring. For instance, activities that require children to synchronize movement with music or specific song words, or those that repeat and add new content to challenge working memory, place a premium on executive control, thereby training the frontal lobe effectively."
