This part is really well said...

"The simple act of practicing a musical instrument rewires the brain. It ignites a unique array of motor, auditory, touch, reflex, and emotional circuitry all at once, making it arguably the most complex mental activity we are capable of as human beings. This stimulation dramatically increases the number of synapses in our brains, and increases our capacity to learn and remember in ways that nothing else we know of can. It’s good for every sort of noggin, and the younger the noggin the better."

Music can bind humanity in myriad ways, and in an age of increased isolation, I can think of few endeavors that are so impactful. Keep up the good work.
