MUSIC – THE QUICKENING ART

Music can change the world because it can change people.”
~ Bono

Music…from classical to jazz; gospel to rock, I love it. It accompanies me while I work, challenges me during exercise, lifts my spirit during worship and makes carpooling a little more bearable. And just like Kenny Chesney crooned in I Go Back it has the ability to transport me to another time and place.

There are countless studies that tout the power of music in our lives. This one from NPR explains the role it can play in healthcare and this one from nuMusician shows eighteen ways music affects the brain.

Take a look at the beautiful way it brightens this elderly gentleman’s day!
