MUSIC is the SOUNDTRACK TO OUR LIVES as we listen at home or walk the streets of our neighborhoods. LEARNING MUSIC improves RESILIENCE, BRAIN COGNITION and creates new NEURAL pathways.

PLAYING MUSIC demonstrates SPIRITEDNESS that cannot be expressed by words alone. MUSIC - even in its silent pauses - has an INVISIBLE TOUCH. Certain instruments, musical styles, lyrics or bands bring healing while others cause intense joy or contemplation. 

 

MUSIC is what feelings sound like.
