"How does music promote well-being, enhance learning, stimulate cognitive function, improve quality of life, & induce happiness? The answer is, because music can activate most brain regions & networks, helping to keep a myriad of brain pathways & networks strong, including those networks that involved in well-being, learning, cognitive function, quality of life, & happiness. In fact, there's only one other situation in which you can activate so many brain networks all at once, & that's when you participate in social activities."
Being a member of #Djembe_Orchestras_Of_Colorado provides both. Our year is comprised of classes where we learn what our PERFORMANCE PLAYLIST is going to be and we begin learning the rhythms and arrangements that we'll be playing. During these classes we socialize and after classes we sometimes gather for a meal at a local restaurant or brewery. These people have become my closest friends over the past 2 years.
