Fostering the Wellbeing of Humanity Through Music
We envision a world where we use music to create a more evolved society of intelligent, creative and compassionate human beings. Where music is universally recognized as inseparable from the human experience and essential to helping us achieve our fullest potential. Where every individual has the opportunity to learn about and enjoy the benefits of music as an integral part of their education, personal wellbeing and relationship with the world around them.
More about WHY Music:
WHAT (is it?)
WHY Music launched in Autumn 2012 with a series of regularly published articles (for EarthTones and the Huffington Post), a multi-lingual website, inspiring music videos, and artist leadership profiles. WHY Music is already expanding with the development of a feature-rich interactive e-book designed to support the campaign and education initiatives, music-based wellness programs, a 4-part television special, and a national awareness campaign. Our goal is to produce emotionally compelling programs and resources to empower a hundred million people by the year 2020 with the awareness, understanding and tools to harness the powerful benefits of music.
WHO (does it serve?)
Through WHY Music, we aim to inspire millions of teachers, parents, policy makers, and healthcare providers to integrate music more effectively into educational curriculums, health and wellness initiatives, media programs and social campaigns; and to teach students, patients and other individuals how to use music as a tool to bring greater balance, vitality and fulfillment to their own lives. Finally, WHY Music aims to shift perceptions, and increase awareness, around the value of music, in efforts to create an increase in funding and support for music programming in the areas we need it most – like education and healthcare.
