Brain Tunz is an innovative, fun, and creative way to incorporate exercises for the brain and emotional techniques with story and song.
What is Brain Tunz?
The Brain Tunz program consists of eight unique products, each containing:
- A fun, full-color storybook with animated animal characters.
- A download link for the complete audiobook and science.
- Download links for mp3’s of the full songs which accompany the storybook.
The movements, songs, and techniques can be applied immediately to begin the learning process!
Why Brain Tunz?
- Scientific research has discovered the correlation between certain physical movements and brain function.
- Music has been proven to be incredibly beneficial in imprinting learning.
Brain Tunz combines the best of these two discoveries for optimal brain health. It’s a way to learn complicated brain techniques that can truly help children with learning problems or just help them focus better in daily life – and it’s FUN!
When to Use Brain Tunz?
It is normal for children to become stressed or emotional. When this happens, brain function is hindered. Depending on the trigger, different parts of the brain are affected.
For example, “John” has an upcoming test and has test anxiety. Through the body’s survival mechanism, energy rushes away from the brain to the extremities to prepare for fight and flight…not concentrating. The brain shuts down everywhere except for the cerebellum, the back part of the brain, the part of the brain focused on survival, not performance. What happens exactly?
The frontal lobe, where learning occurs, does not receive the blood and energy it needs for logical thinking. John is expected to take a test when his body is in survival mode. It’s no wonder he struggles to recall information and perform successfully on his test.
This leads to more frustration and stress. He remains in the fight or flight mode. Without the proper brain exercises, he may start a cycle of feeling like a failure in school, which may lead to other negative issues in his life.
One technique taught with both story and song is “crossover movements.” During these exercises, we stimulate the left (logical) and right (creative) hemispheres of the brain and aid them in communicating with each other. Additional crossover movements “turn on the lights” for the back and front, as well as the upstairs and downstairs, of the brain which encourages whole-brain function. Once all these brain connections are re-established, comprehensive learning can occur.
Now, John’s anxiety leaves and he switches out of fight or flight, or survival mode. Concentration returns along with calmness, clarity, and focus. Even happiness is felt…your child is back!
Have you ever tried to learn something new, simply to forget it a week later? Brain Tunz synthesizes the power of music and brain and body movements to imprint new information into your child’s conscience mind.
To help your child learn and remember, our program engages several of their senses. More points of learning will help trigger their memory and recall.

Do I need all 8 Brain Tunz products?
Each of the eight storybooks can be purchased separately. You and your children will benefit from the songs and energy techniques taught in each individual book. However, each storybook teaches unique and helpful brain and emotional tools and techniques which when combined will greatly magnify your child’s learning abilities as well as emotional stability.
By discovering and learning these techniques and applying them during a quick daily regimen, your children will be prepared and capable of learning and behaving well throughout the day. Each book has aids which can be used as empowerment tools during a timeout (or personal power chair!) The variety of techniques and movements can also be used as a two-minute regimen before homework begins to help focus and calm your child’s brain.
Timeout Chair or Personal Power Chair?
When a child misbehaves, we often put them in a timeout chair basically telling them to stuff down all their negative feelings and then when their emotions are sufficiently ‘stuffed,’ they can come back out and rejoin the family. Instead, how about putting them in a ‘personal power chair’ and giving them tools and techniques to calm themselves and reclaim their personal power?
Start with having a family meeting about what behaviors we manifest when we are in our personal power. You may want to write them on a chart. And then a chart with the behaviors which show how someone acts when they are out of their personal power. For example:
When your child has lost their personal power, you can accompany them to their ‘personal power chair’ where they put to use the tools and techniques they have learned through the Brain Tunz storybooks and songs. As they participate in these activities, their nervous systems will switch from the sympathetic (fight or flight) into the parasympathetic nervous system (rest, restore, heal) and they can begin to think with more calmness and clarity. You could also have calming music with headphones, journal, coloring, family picture books, favorite quotes and inspirational, positive reading options. All of these practices teach them to cope with and learn from their negative emotions and behaviors. When they have regained their personal power, they can happily rejoin the family!
There are so many ways to utilize the Brain Tunz program in your family or classroom. Get your complete set today!
