I came across this article and thought that I’d pass it on to all of you.  So many times we think about the connection between math and music, but there are so many other ways that music can help us.  I know that there are times in which I’m stressed and just need to relax and I go to the piano, just to play, and as I play the worries and demands of the day slip away and when I’m done I feel so much better than when I first sat down.  And that’s just one of the ways that playing an instrument can change us.

Check the article out and see what you think.
