The Brain and Music

I just saw this on the “Today Show” and wanted to share it with my readers. What a wonderful program this is in New York City. I’m sure it could be replicated elsewhere!

For centuries, the beauty, power and personal relevance of music has made it a wonderful instrument for the rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities.

By definition, Daniel’s Music Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides free musical instruction to all individuals with disabilities in the NYC area. But we are much more than just a foundation we are a community that opens doors to acceptance, respect, confidence and overall well being.

The relationship we build with our members over time goes well beyond simply music. Through our On-Site, Off-Site and Outreach Programs we create the opportunity for our members to put the skills they learn into practice, in a real life setting. We have found that our programs have been extremely beneficial when we serve our members, but magic happens when our members serve others.
