“Music Gives Me Control”

“Music has the ability to uplift our lives and heal us from within.”

Esha Alwani

Music educators and music therapists need to take a few minutes to listen to this wonderful TED talk from Esha Alwani, describing her experience with Tourette’s Syndrome and the relief she gets from making music.

Music isn’t peripheral to human existence – it is front and center, and plays a fundamental role in our brains and how they function.

This is the power of music education in schools. This is the power of music therapy in hospitals, retirement communities, and throughout our society.
