How sound shapes the human experience

What if sound is more than just a background track to our lives, but a fundamental tool for building brain function and human connection? Join us for an immersive conversation with Emmy-winning composer, jazz saxophonist, and educator Hayes Greenfield. With a career spanning over 70 film scores and decades of live performance, Hayes explores the "Human Premium"—the raw, tactile power of sound that transcends language barriers.  Beyond the stage, Hayes is transforming early childhood education and neurocognitive care through his Creative Sound Play initiative. Supported by leaders in neuroscience, his work demonstrates how intentional listening and sound-making bridge the educational gap by developing critical executive function skills. He shares how a teacher was able to calm down a 3 y.o. girl with a clucking sound, and how a non-verbal student spoke for the first time during one of the sessions held by Hayes, bringing the teachers to tears. Hayes reminds us that tuning into our sonic environment is a play-based pathway to a kinder, more mindful world. What will you do to incorporate sound into your skillset and daily habits?
