Action-Taking Edition # 10
Your Brain on Music + Montessori Mindset = A Better You + Mimosas
My unique approach as a Concentration Coach
combines science-based music protocols,
time-tested Montessori principles applied to adults,
and conscious celebrations.
These Action-Taking Editions offer practical tips
on how to apply these three elements to your daily life.
Music
New to using Music? Start here.
Selection to enjoy: Con Te Partirò, by Andrea Bocelli, 2016 Orchestra and Choir Version. This soaring performance, for both the voices and orchestral instruments, spans an extensive frequency range. Listen for the high wind instruments, all the way down to the double bass and drums. For a different flavor of this beautiful piece, enjoy it performed by a children’s choir.
Suggested use: Watch the faces of the performers carefully. Note the intense concentration of their expressions, particularly in their eyes.

Mindset to strengthen: Concentration
In our digital world, where we’re constantly surrounded by notifications and distractions, we have to consciously and actively choose to concentrate.
Suggestions to try:
At home: Choose an activity you enjoy, preferably that involves your hands, on which you’ll spend 10-15 minutes per day, to strengthen your ability to concentrate. Bonus points if this involves a musical instrument!
At school: Make an agreement with your friends to spend at least one lunch break per week phone-free. Concentrate on your conversation. If the conversation feels awkward and uncomfortable, then that means you probably need to have more phone-free lunches.
At work: Unsubscribe from 5 email lists that you never read. These will be easy to find: scroll through your inbox and pick the first unread newsletter email. Now do a search for that newsletter. If most of the search results are unread emails, click that unsubscribe link. (Yes, even if it’s mine!) Bulk delete all those emails. Repeat 4 more times.
