Keep music in mind

Music is fun, expressive, imaginative, beautiful, energizing, relaxing, interesting and freeing.

Musical training increases brain development in language, reasoning, math, science, memory, creativity, expression and spatial intelligence. It isn't limited by age, gender, ethnicity or time.

Through music, we preserve our cultural heritage, celebrate our faith with praise and worship, remember events and expressions from the past, come together with friends and family, and express our emotions.

Try one of these:

•Listen to your favorite music today and sing, dance, clap, jam on your air guitar and enjoy it like no one is watching.

•Go to a musical performance.

•Sign up for music lessons for yourself or your family.

•If you sing or play an instrument, offer to teach someone who wants to learn.

•Donate unused instruments to a local school, church or music education center.
