This year one of my major projects is to look to bring world leading neuro-scientist David Eagleman (Stanford) to NZ to speak about the development of children’s brains.

I have always loved music - primarily listening but also playing some very nasic guitar and drums (very basic!) I have been facinated by the skill-sets of great musicians and performers - very much including how they got so good.

This is a word-cloud of the concerts I have been to (although it contains a cheat in that I have tickets to Bob Geldof for this March).

Below is a superb pod-cast feauturing David Eagleman dicussing the benefits of music to the human brain.
