Eric Barnhill on Cognition, Movement, and Music

This looks major to me-- how music and movement can enable better focus, the importance of becoming able to notice less intense sensations, using rhythm and imagination to help children access speeds and intensities that they aren't in the habit of using.

A lot of this is using rhythm and movement to teach system one.

TEDx Talk

More of the same, plus some structure of teaching-- start with rhythm that imitates what the child is doing, followed with rhythm that the child can follow, then give the child the drum-- both leading and following the teacher.

Both have somewhat about gradually leading children with deficits into more challenging skills. For example, teaching a child that can't count seven beats how to chunk perceptions so that they can keep track.
