How Does Music Change Your Brain?
Healing Sounds director, Anna McChesney, was interviewed by Changing America and featured in their article about music and the brain.
“Having a disability can often feel isolating,” says Joe’s mom Sharon Baber. “But Joe has found music to be an avenue through which he can communicate successfully with others. As parents, I believe some of the greatest gifts we can give our children are experiences that help them grow and bring them joy. Music therapy has definitely been one of those beautiful experiences for our son,” says Baber.
“Engaging in music facilitates neuroplasticity; engaging in music activates cognitive, speech and motor centers,” explains Anna McChesney, director of Healing Sounds in Chesterfield, Virginia, where Joe attends a music therapy program. At Healing Sounds, board-certified music therapists “utilize individualized music therapy interventions to empower change,” McChesney says in an interview with Changing America.
