Music and the Brain

Since 1927, we have provided our community and the country with quality musical instruments, training, and service. Whether playing music as a hobby or a profession, we have experienced first hand, the benefits derived from the challenge of making music. The medical community has studied and documented the fascinating correlation between playing music and the development of the brain. This seems to us to be of the utmost importance for our customers and partners in the prison systems throughout the world. We would venture to say that nearly all penal systems have some sort of musical recreation available to those who qualify to participate. We believe, however, that music cannot be used enough to help the welfare and safety of the incarcerated, as well as the dedicated people that monitor and supervise them. Below is a partial list of links and Web sites that deal with the phenomenonal link between music and the brain. It is our hope that correctional institutions will use this knowledge to further their efforts of rehabilitation through music.
