Brain Bop leads you through a series of warm ups based on developmental movement patterns that all humans move through from pre-birth to age one. These warm ups promote concentration, social skills, math and reading aptitude. Refreshing and relaxing, this sequence of patterns helps build vital connections between the brain cells. Each activity combines somatic (mind/body) practices with current brain research to bring lasting benefits to everyone.
For All Ages since nervous systems and human beings learn and develop throughout life.
Brain Bop is useful to start the day, wake up or calm down, any time concentration is poor, before homework or testing, as an exercise or dance activity, during inside recess or just for fun.
Tracks 1 - 7 are voice-prompted with lively music to guide you through the patterns. Individual tracks are geared from youngest to older learners.
Tracks 8 - 14 include a guided warm up for all ages followed by instrumental only tracks for warming up and two tracks for calm and resting activities.
THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS TO ORDER BRAIN BOP :
Order from Kate or from West Music.
NEW OPTION! Order from CD BABY where you can also listen to and download tracks and write a review.
You can also download tracks through DigStation where you can purchase individual tracks or the whole CD. I'd love to read some good reviews of Brain Bop on that site, too!
Here's a great recommendation!
My daughter, Sylvan, age three and a half, absolutely LOVES the haunted house track!
Every night for the past week and a half she adamantly demands we listen to it with the lights down low, and we must exhibit all of the appropriate gestures: shaking, lying on our bellies for the magic carpet, climbing, et. al. I think she knows the entire piece by heart. Thanks for doing such a great CD!
