Music 4 Veterans

Interviews with veterans/musicians/therapists...on how we use music as a therapeutic tool. When you hear music, how does it make you feel? Does it bring back fond memories and transports you — even momentarily — to a peaceful place and time? Maybe it makes you feel relaxed, or it gets your blood pumping and makes you want to dance or sing along! Few other experiences in life have the wide array of effects on us that music has. Whether you want to destress, get motivated, forget your troubles or focus on a project, the right music can help you get there. Music also impacts both our minds and bodies in a variety of ways, from lowering anxiety to improving sleep, reducing pain and blood pressure, boosting mood, and increasing memory and mental alertness.
