June is National Black Music Month: Music Plays and Important Role in the Lives of Individuals!

June is National Black Music Month- Celebrate the Legacy

Summer Enrichment Programs! Enhance your lives with music.  Research and studies have proven that there are many rewarding benefits that may be gained from music.  First of all, music and arts programs are connected with other disciplines such as science, math, social studies, technology, reading, brain-power, life-long learning, engineering, physics, health and wellness, and the list goes on.  Try it- you will see.

Music is important to children and early childhood as they develop brain-power, social skills, and connection to other subjects. The studies trace music as one of the powerful tools for learning.  Music throughout life can enhance living through music therapy, self awareness, creativity, career development and wholesome living.  Imagine what life would be like without music.  It is more than a song or dance! It’s a way of life.

With summer just around the corner, why not include music experiences. There are many advantages out there.  Learn to play an instrument, sing your way through stress filled moments, meditate on songs, listen, dance and move to the beat, relax, get actively involved with music in the community and use those creative genes.
