Why Music Is Wellness

Studies show that listening, learning, and playing music can lead to better physical, mental, and emotional health outcomes.

As the demands on organization’s budgets grow, music courses are getting cut. Students are losing one of the only spaces that helped them understand and deal with their feelings.

This is leading to students feeling overwhelmed, tired, and anxious. This eventually impacts student performance as well as teachers and staff left worrying about student achievement and student wellness.

Learning to breathe deeply, listen intently, reconnect to one’s body through a melody or musical story, all help to reset and calibrate one’s emotional scales.
