Music is good for you and for your community!

For individuals, music can lower stress and anxiety, and boost mental and emotional wellness in a number of ways. But it can also make it easier to recognize shared interests, communicate and collaborate improving everything from graduation rates and civic engagement, to senior health and wellness, workforce development, and so much more.
