I am grateful for every chance I get to promote the healing power of music. Especially when we are all dealing with so many challenges, it’s good to talk about a helpful resource we have not paid much attention to, like music as a practice!
On Wednesday the 24th at 6-7PM, I will be presenting for Ellevate: Reevaluating Music as an Overlooked Resource: What History and Neuroscience can Teach Us. For none Ellevate members, you may get asked for a code to register for the event. Type in my first name: Makiko
Then, on Saturday Oct. 3rd, from 2:30-4, I will be presenting for a virtual fundraising event for Restorative Justice Initiative, a non-profit organization based in NY. I will talk about the importance of listening, then play.
I have also compiled a video of scenes that attest to the power of music.
