Whenever we’re engaged in creativity, such as music-making, we’re present in the moment. This presence allows us to get in touch with our emotions and express them.

Music is a form of expression. It’s a way of telling a story, and research shows that music binds us in a way that language rarely does, making it almost a social glue. Most of us can relate that meeting someone with the same music taste is one of the best things, creating a deeper connection and in most cases, an emotional bond.
