Where you belong
They say that when we practice new activities we're actually creating new neural pathways inside ourselves. That idea blows me away and sometimes motivates me to try new things.
Here's a page where you can find all sorts of challenges from different areas of Song Zoo: rhythms, rhymes, songwriting, clapping, guitar playing and more. Some of it's useful, and some of it's goofy, but all of it's aimed at getting us a bit beyond our comfort zone... just to see what happens.
