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.
