It’s not every day you meet a music/math polymath, but some lucky kids at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Elementary School in Kanata get to meet one every school day.

I think it’s cool that there’s a teacher out there that can teach her students through music. I definitely could imagine it making learning more fun for the students.
The article was written by Michael Bussiėre from the OLM OTTAWALIFE magazine company which seems like a good source. I think this could be good information to audio professionals because it lets them know more kids are being exposed to music at young ages which might get more people into the music business in the future.

Songs and rhymes can be used to remember all kinds of information. A study just published in the journal Memory and Cognition finds that adults learned a new language more effectively when they sang the words instead of spoke them. Even great literature is susceptible to this treatment. Book Tunes, a collaboration between educational entrepreneur Jonathan Sauer and hip-hop artist Andy Bernstein (he performs under the name Abdominal), turns long, wordy books into compact, catchy raps, spoken over an insistent beat.
