New Professional Development Program: Music for Well-Being

Children today face a constant barrage of challenges that interfere with their development and academic performance. Educators are in an ideal position to help, but many feel overwhelmed and underprepared to support a traumatized student body.

We believe music has the power to heal, and we’re here to teach you how.

Soundwaves On Demand

Music Workshop’s youth concert series, Soundwaves, is now available alongside other free programming in our teacher portal. Students experience past concerts from artists like The Playing for Change Band and Ron Artis II, along with conversations with the musicians about the connection between music and life.

Music-Empowered Education Makes Better Humans

It’s important to cultivate a love of music in students from a young age. By giving students opportunities to engage with music in many ways, we can inspire them to use music as a tool to improve their lives. Scientific research shows that music-empowered learning can directly impact the development of crucial life skills.

  • Improve academic performance, memory, and focus
  • Self-regulate socially and emotionally
  • Develop empathy and social awareness
  • Build human connection

Exposing students of all backgrounds to global cultures through music can help them reach their full potential as conscientious global citizens.
