Scientific Research Reveals Reasons to Play Music

Science says there are good medical reasons to play…

• Playing a musical instrument can reverse stress at the molecular level, according to studies conducted by Loma Linda University School of Medicine and Applied Biosystems (as published in Medical Science Monitor)
• Making music can help reduce job burnout and improve your mood, according to a study exposing 112 long-term care workers to six recreational music-making sessions of group drumming and keyboard accompaniment. (as published in Advances in Mind-Body Medicine)
• Playing music increases human growth hormone (HgH production among active older Americans.  A study following 130 people over two 10-week periods measured participants’ levels of HgH.  The findings revealed that the test group who took group keyboard lessons showed significantly higher levels of HgH than the control group people who did not make music. (University of Miami)

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!

I would like to write a few lines thanking all of our customers for a wonderful 2009.  In a year filled with bad news, bad finances and bad attitudes, Stacy’s Music experienced a wonderful year.  We met many new students ready and willing to learn a new instrument, we reconnected with many old customers who are getting back into music making, and enjoyed speaking with our weekly customers who choose Stacy’s Music as their music store of choice.  I, on many occasions, enjoyed talking with some of our students parents, not only about their kid’s music education, but just life and business in general.  In my 18 years of working here I have never before had the feeling of community that I do now.  I learned that the people of Charlottesville (and surrounding areas) love their music.  They take it seriously and appreciate shopping at a place that is just as serious about nurturing relationships as they are about their music.  I love what I do and work hard to make Stacy’s Music a place where you can learn, play and create music and I appreciate everyone who takes notice.

So in short I would like to say thank you.  Thank you to all the parents for bringing your kids in to take lessons here. Thank you to all the musicians for choosing us over anyone else or home delivery.  Thank you to everyone who walked through our door to ask a question.  I thank you all and hope you have a wonderful 2010.  Let’s make it loud!

Shep Stacy
