There are a range of evidence based benefits that group musical play and mindfulness share in common. Both promote wellbeing for a wide range of populations from children to older adults.

Both Mindfulness and group rhythm programs are know to:

• Elevate and regulate mood

• Reduce stress

• Improve immunity

• Inspire creative expression and collaboration

• Build neuroplasticity

• Increase relational awareness
