Music Is Not Just an Extra

Research shows that music "primes the brain" for so much learning!

Some great ways to incorporate beautiful music into our lives include listening:

1. In the morning while getting ready for the day.
2. While eating meals.
3. In the car.
4. While doing chores.
5. At bed time.

Of course, I recommend lots of Bach!

Just Starting Out

I have been planning and hoping to start a music blog, and this is the beginning of it. It's just a start, and I will probably have to work on it just a little at a time, but for now, here is the basis for this blog and the music in my life:

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
A Psalm for giving thanks.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalms 100

...and...

“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” J.S. Bach
