WHY MUSIC!
Science has shown that learning music benefits people on many different levels. From enhancing cognitive capacities for children, teens and adults to helping memory, literacy, creativity, self confidence and collaboration skills, the power of music has already been demonstrated by hundreds of scientific studies.
At Playing For Change Foundation, we believe the world would be a better place with more music in it. That’s why we employ musicians and music teachers around the world to teach music, using it as a tool for education, inspiration and social change.
Music is also part of the intangible heritage of humanity and by preserving and transmitting traditional music we help new generations to understand their own culture as well as others.
“ Young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year, compared to children who do not. “
