  Another study on the benefits of music...  We understand more and more the health of our brain through modern technological scanning.  The breaking of synapses and disease causing problems and the health of positive stimulation from healthy activities - i.e. MUSIC!!!  Here they looked at 80 six and seven year olds and found 

  ...music training can change both the structure of the brain’s white matter, which carries signals through the brain, and grey matter, which contains most of the brain’s neurons that are active in processing information. Music instruction also boosts engagement of brain networks that are responsible for decision-making and the ability to focus attention and inhibit impulses...   goldenmusic.co  https://ecs.page.link/PZWp
• February 24, 2019 Snowstorms this Winter - Debussy's The Snow Is Dancing
  So much snow lately... Debussy wrote a children's piece for piano The Snow is Dancing: here's an excerpt. Many orchestras play this. Physicists say the sound of snow is not audible for the human ear. If it was, do you think it would sound like this?

• January 30, 2019 Music, Architecture and Life...
  One of the biggest joys of owning a music store is the interesting people we get to talk to every day.  Almost every customer and shopper wants to hang out a bit and tell us their story of which we are always very interested.  This last week at the Colorado Music Educators Conference, we talked to hundreds of musicians, mostly music educators.  There was one father who stood out.  His son was the teacher, but he told us his story and journey in his career as an architect but his love and passion for music.  I was so touched by his story, I asked if we could video tape it for you to hear it from him.  Please CHECK IT OUT.
