Today's episode is with Lisha Lercari.
Lisha Lercari is from New York City. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Music Theory and a master’s degree in Music Education from the Manhattan School of Music. She also studied music in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, a French music teacher and conductor who taught many of the leading composers and musicians of the 20th century.
Lercari taught music for more than 30 years and for a majority of those years lead her non-profit Music and the Brain (MATB for short). This is a public school program inspired by neurological research linking music and cognitive development. MATB is the experience of what studies are telling us; when children receive sequential music instruction, it can impact their proficiency in language, reading, math and cognition. Nearly 300 schools across the world use the easy-to-teach curriculum to help children and adults understand and appreciate the language of music as well as read music and play the piano.
Here is a Ted Talk she gave a few years back posted on YouTube called How Music Empowers the Brain.
