Sonic Leadership is an interactive training/keynote on leadership and team building focusing on  the development of strong team communication (Sound Check), the value of creativity through inclusion (Rehearsal) and trust through collaboration (Take the Stage). The presentation itself features 4-5 professional musicians, led by award winning international touring artist/musical director and speaker Christian Tamburr. The high functioning musical team demonstrates and correlates the core attributes of leadership used when preparing for a performance, being creative together as a team, and executing a world class performance each time they step on stage.

WHY USE MUSIC?

​

Music offers a lot of benefits, including:
• improved mood
• increased motivation
• boost concentration
• improved memory and brain stimulation
• better management of fatigue

In a 2013 studyTrusted Source, 60 female volunteers carried out a psychological stress test while listening to relaxing music, sounds of rippling water, or no particular sound. Results suggested that listening to relaxing music makes a physical difference to the way people respond psychologically and physically — in terms of hormone response — under stress.

In a 2021 studyTrusted Source, patients in ICU said they felt less pain and anxiety after listening to music for 30 minutes than before.

Research suggests that a good mood generally improves your learning outcomes. You’ll likely have more success with learning new material when you’re feeling good.

Research from 2019 suggests music can activate the same reward centers in your brain as other things you enjoy. Rewarding yourself with your favorite music can provide the motivation you need to learn new information.

According to a 2007 study, music — classical music, specifically — can help your brain absorb and interpret new information more easily. Your brain processes the abundance of information it receives from the world around you by separating it into smaller segments. The researchers found evidence to suggest that music can engage your brain in such a way that it trains it to pay better attention to events and make predictions about what might happen.
