Music for Wellness

You love music. You listen to music all the time. Maybe you sing, play an instrument, or compose music. You don’t need to have musical talent to use music to enhance your well being, and even your health. Learn simple techniques to enrich your mind, body, and spirit through music. The methods can be applied in your daily life, particularly when you are feeling down or stressed out. Developed by a board-certified music therapist and a vocalist/pianist/composer/recording artist specializing in Indian music, these strategies combine science with the wisdom of Eastern philosophy. In the course, discover how to unlock your creativity. You will learn not only how to listen to music in a new way, but also how to listen to the impact that music has on you. You will find out how to care for yourself by practicing coping techniques that are supported by music that is special to you.

Great course for learning how to use music for our well-being. However, the course is constantly being used to promote the sales of their online courses and programs.

I​ loved this course so much!!!! It made me rediscover so much music that I used to listen to years ago. It made me understand parts of myself that I knew existed, but didn't want to acknowledge.
