SENDing You Into The Future - Of A World of Wellsicians
In a world increasingly driven by technology and rapid change – but not yet in the field of Music Making Well-Beings - after a lifetime as a frustrated ‘musical dyslexic’ Kevin M Thomson had a vision, SEND mission, and ‘Big Bold Goal’ and over a decade of R&D to change the perception of both music making Innovation & Inclusivity combined in Wellness & Wellbeing.
We stand at the intersection of the ‘Teaching Triad’ of 1. SEND based Music Making innovation & inclusivity where there is no SEND music making system – at all! 2. a potential new Global Music Making Wellness $4Bn Economy Opportunity 3. a Music Making Well-Beings Policy Toolkit offering a $1Tn Impact on our Global Health & Wellbeing.
By championing a revolutionary new way of looking at Music Making far beyond for its own sake of pleasure or performing, the goal looks to reshape both the global health and wellbeing musical landscape and economy.
How? Based on 21st-century Neuroscience and now the ‘Social Neuroscience of Music Making’ we can now say that music making can have the single biggest impact on health, wellbeing, and cognitive development.
We are also in an age where AI allows and also demands us to use our cognitive ability to drive change and innovation in an increasingly tense, challenging, diverse, and inclusive world. Unlike no other activity - Music Making does just this.
The science of Music Making Well-Beings tells us of the (desperate) need to build a framework and a research benchmark. We have built one on the nef/UK Government Foresight sponsored report, with our own YouGov based ‘5 Ways To Music Making WellBeings’ UK Benchmark.
Time to put it into practice – and with self-test

From Then To Now..
My Motiv8ors for The UK Patent Application – The Introduction …
Because…I had to do something:
1. The inherent difficulties and inconsistencies of the Traditional Notation System (TNS).
2. TNS was originally devised for choristers.
3. There is now multimedia technology available, adaptable for all to use and/or change (e.g., colored lines or notes).
4. The lack of prior art aimed at those with difficulties or disabilities.
5. The absence of any universally accepted new system since the 1,000year-old Guido D’Arrezzo system.
6. The drastic decline in music education uptake and the lack of instruments in nearly all households.
7. The lack of prior art utilizing Emojis a universal language with instant visual and emotional appeal.

The Most Important Wellbeing Teaching You Can Do – Ever!
The Lost Legacy of Guido D'Arezzo: From Micrologus 1026 to Macrologus 2026
By Kevin M Thomson – With Your Contributions?!
I will launch of the book "The Lost Legacy of Guido D'Arezzo: From Micrologus 1026 to Macrologus 2026" in 2026. We can all celebrate a thousand years of musical innovation and inclusivity.
This milestone marks the incredible revelations of neuroscience and social neuroscience, showcasing music making well-beings as the starting point for the next millennium of music making. My passion for a new SEND Music Making Well-Beings Pedagogy emphasizes the need to address missed opportunities in this field.
This ‘Lost Legacy’ book introduces a revolutionary concept: ‘Syneasthusiasm’ as part of my new Musictionary Musical Wellbeing Language to show how Music Making – not just listeningintegrates ALL parts of the brain and body, hearts And minds into one synergistic whole – like no other activity. Building Syneasthusiasm in us all to create ‘A World of Wellsicians’ neuroscience tells us is THE single most effective wellness program in human history: Music Making WellBeings.
Without knowing it (it took 1,000 years and only the last decade of scientific research) yet recognised by Guido D'Arezzo in his Musical Triad of what I call his Syneasthesiastic integration of his Micrologus, this concept combines the VAK of V = Visual impact A= Auditory memorization, and K = Kinaesthetic tactile learning. We can now add Krumhansle's research I call Tone Oriented Roots (TOR) and Takadimi's Time Oriented Rhythm concepts like Kodaly and Dalcroze (TOR) to create a comprehensive approach to music education – The X–VAKTOR: where all our senses are X multiplies to build up are Cognitive Development and Musical Ability.

## Invitation to Join The Band!
Let's take a deeper dive into what it means to create a Wellness Strategy, a Wellbeing Toolkit of Activity, and a 5 Ways to Wellsician-based framework for creating Well-Beings. The power of music making well-beings lies in its ability to integrate all parts of the brain and body, fostering cognitive development, social connections, and overall well-being.
By contributing to "The Lost Legacy of Guido D'Arezzo," you can be part of a global movement to create a world of Wellsicians. Let's celebrate the millennium of music making innovation and inclusivity and pave the way for the next thousand years of musical progress.
Join us in this mission to build a world where everyone can say, "I'm Syneasthesiastic! Whether you are SEND20% like Dysmusia or a SEND 100% Sensory Experience Natures and Diversities, by understanding the power of Syneasthusiasm, I was inspired to join in a World of Wellsicians!"
