-- Quote of the Day --
"…I was able to apply my back ground in music as a therapy …to help people where they are shut down to find out how they want to open up and connect with the community. …There are so many benefits that music adds to our entire being. …We are educated through logic and reason – the left brain is dominant and we marginalize the importance of the right side of the brain, which is the side of the brain that recognizes patterns, metaphors, connections between things. …When we hear (or play) music our brain is responding with both sides of the brain. …It makes their memories sharper, math scores go up… music helps us deal with change, helps us learn faster… respond quickly with an agile mind that can grasp many things on multiple levels.
…All the arts are beneficial in this way, but music has this unique feature …of lighting up the brain in many, many ways. ”
