Sound and vibration are amazing! We are learning so much about what sound and vibration can do!

Exploring Vibration for Well-Being: A Pilot Study with Schoolchildren in South Africa

Researchers conducted a pilot study with school-age children to investigate how sensory experiences involving sound and vibration might support calm and focused states. Over six weeks, participants engaged in structured vibroacoustic sessions at a public school, using frequencies between 30 and 80 Hz.
The study aimed to understand how this approach could promote sensory comfort and attentional presence in a non-invasive way. Many described the sessions as calming and enjoyable, highlighting the potential of this practice as a well-being resource in educational settings.

“Whether listening to music, singing, or learning to play a musical instrument, music has been shown to keep our brains nimble…one theory is that it engages multiple neural systems of the brain. In addition, if you’re learning a new instrument, for example, you’re challenging your brain to adapt, and novelty activates neuroplasticity, says [Vonetta Dotson, PhD]”

And you'll have fun!
