Each and every day we get up and do all the things we need to do to prepare for the start of our new day. Such as take a shower, brush our teeth, comb our hair, shave, and get dressed. How many of us sing a little song or take a small amount of time to play an instrument like the piano or guitar or just set back and enjoy the beauty of music. Music appreciation is one method that can relax you from a long day at work or school and is a real life changing tool.

I work with elders and their grandchildren have told them that music has changed their lives & helped them to make a hard day easier and a more enjoyable day. Studies have shown that children that have music in their lives have a much better attitude in school and at home. Child care and children’s health vol.7 October 5, 2012 http://www.gpo.gov/

I hope everyone has had a great summer and enjoyed themselves at the 2012 Family Fun Fest. For those of you who didn’t hear the Music Education Program along with many other Health Programs orchestrated a night of family fun with music. Our Family Fun Fest was held on August 25, 2012 open to parents and children at the Thunderbird Casino in Little Axe. This event showcased the many talented Native Americans we have in our community. We had booths from the health system programs as well as booths from vendors outside of the tribe handing out helpful health information to make this night memorable.
