Teacher & Student Testimonials

"I’ve seen such an increase in my student’s focus, participation in class and improved behavior.

Students are much more quiet and attentive to accomplishing their work. They are more focused, relaxed, able to concentrate and able to think better.

Grades have gone up across the board!  They have to because they are spending so much more time being engaged in school work!

When the DEAR music starts my body goes into relax mode because I now know my students will spend the next half hour quietly reading”

Ms. Antoine, Brookview Middle School, Toronto District School Board - Case Study Highlight

"When my fellow teachers realized that my class is showing so much improvement, they wanted in on the program.  They’ve also seen improvements in my students when they are in their classes so there must be a carry over effect. 

It’s such a change from past experiences in my classrooms, actually being able to spend quiet time teaching instead of disciplining.”

Ms. Vineburg, Brookview Middle School, Toronto District School Board - Case Study Highlight

"My class has been experiencing the BrainIgnite Program since November, 2009. My class is a behaviour class with low-functioning students and with varying behaviour issues.

Since implementing the BrainIgnite Program I noticed a dramatic change in my students.  The changes began slowly with their behaviour. There were fewer fights, fewer disruptions in the class. My worst behaved student, student A, who was always in trouble; who was suspended three times in two months, that student seemed to settle and was not in trouble anymore.

The student who slept in class all year in grade 6, was now for the first time going up to the board to do work.  He started coming to class on time, he was awake and not only did his behaviour improve, but also his academics improved.

My entire classes academic scores went up, in some cases by an entire grade level.  For example, one of my students moved from a 'C' grade to a 'B' grade. Others went from 'D' to 'C'. I know this was because of the BrainIgnite program.

I have seen changes in all my students, they are more focused, they are on task, ready to learn. Their academics went up by one grade level at least and they enjoy the music. I'm enthusiastic about the changes.

Teaching is so much easier now."

Ms. Juliet Daniel, Brookview Middle School, Toronto District School Board

"Students are less hyper-active and are more focused. There is increased class participation, more inclination to ask for help and less bad behavior in the classroom.

Every single student has been affected for the good.  I’ve even felt a difference in my ability to focus and perform my duties as a teacher. I wish I had Ignited music in previous years!”

Ms. Jones, Brookview Middle School, Toronto District School Board - Case Study Highlight 

“Many of my students struggled catching on to some very integral principles, but an exciting turn around was made once we started playing BrainIgniter. With a flick of a switch, the light turned on for them and they finally made a connection with some key vocabulary essentials. Their reading skills have really progressed.”

Mary Cross, Grade school teacher, Australia

“I began playing BrainIgniter during lessons & independent work periods, hoping to see just a few small improvements.
What I noticed were extremely strong improvements in focus and quiet during the very first day! Among my problem students, I saw a major turn around in assignment completion and concentration. As more BrainIgniter class time passed, the changes mounted further—with the class average by the end of the year turning out to be several percentile points higher than the norm.”

Hans Schnien, Math Teacher, Germany

“Guys this product is soooo hot, I've been using it for an hour a day and my concentration levels are so high, I'm able to study for hours, and my grades have gone from a C to straight As. Thanks a lot Volition Thought House !!!”

Danny Millar, Student

"After a serious car accident left me in a coma for nearly 3 weeks with a serious brain injury, I awoke with almost no short term memory, terrible focus and diminished mental capability. I began using iMusic and the immediate improvements in my concentration, attentiveness, and mental acuity were powerful. After a week of use I could feel noticeable changes in my intelligence and mental sharpness... I was thinking faster, feeling more energized and even talking with more confidence. I am now an honors economics/mathematics university student and with BrainIgnite, I know I am going to continue achieving and improving."

David Solomonian, Coma and Brain Injury Survivor

“Before, it was the same old routine. I'd get my books out, and begin to study. I would try to focus and be rapt by the captivating material I was studying (can you sense my sarcasm?). It was always a battle to maintain concentration; a battle I was never winning. With [BrainIgnite], the battle has been won. Game over, I win.”

Hayden Lucson, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology

"The best way to describe [BrainIgnite] is to call it mental software. All I have to do is listen and my brain is purring like an Intel driven machine. In what seems like a matter of moments, I'm whizzing through my text and readings. I run on BrainIgnite, what do you run on?"
