According to
Anil Srinivasan, “Music as a cognitive facilitator is highly researched and
documented. In the normal verbal expressions of sentences of complexity 300+
neurotransmitters get activated but when the same sentence is sung close to
300,000 neurons fire away in the brain”. His lessons have reached 3,50,000
students through 150 teachers, and 500 schools spanning Tamil Nadu, Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, as well as a few in the North.
