Music matters because you matter! We offer music education in a variety of styles and instruments. You will learn how music connects you to a global community of musicians, singers, and artists. The feeling you get from expanding your knowledge, skills, and abilities brings joy, connectedness and confidence!
We offer opportunities to experience the joy, peace, and healing which are available through music. Music Matters will en-liven your experience and raise your vibration (lift your spirit).
Using an online meeting platform, you will have the opportunity to learn to sing, drum, or play, and understand the tremendous benefits of active listening. You will explore music of many styles and cultures, and you will become aware of how music effects your mental and emotional bodies. You will gain tools to expand resilience, confidence, and self-awareness.
You or your group will be inspired, en-live-end, and energized via drumming, singing, playing, active listening, breathwork, and movement. You will have the opportunity to create, perform, or even record your sessions. We will support you to find your voice, your rhythm, and your joy!
Connect to your own internal rhythms and to others. Drum therapy encourages people to release inner trauma through physical movement and meditative rhythms, as well as bringing people together.
