Babies and adult learners? Alike or not?

In my latest Examiner.com article, Babies and adult learners have the musical beat, I explore how adult learners and babies both instinctively tap their toes in rhythm. For the learning professional, this information is important because music used in the learning environment that does not follow the conventional rhythmic patterns - called 4/4 and 3/4 - can distract learners. Read the article to learn more. Additional information can be found in this excerpt from my book, Training With a Beat.

Stay offbeat!
