Building Brains with Genein Letford
About this episode
Keri and Tim discuss brain development and the importance of hands-on experiences with Genein Letford.
This week Keri and Tim return and sit down with Genein Letford, M.Ed. of Lyrics 'N Leadership Institute to explore how young brains develop and why hands-on, sensory experience still matters in an AI-saturated world. Genein unpacks concepts like the brain as an "analog organ," vocabulary-building through word substitution, emotional granularity, and how music and the arts build lifelong "cognitive reserve", framing early arts exposure as both a school-readiness tool and a safeguard against future cognitive decline.
