Playing for Change.com- Peace through Music ie. World Music Therapy

Posted by: in MyBlog on Jun 14, 2009

I recently came across this site and thought it was too amazing to keep from my you, my dear readership.

 Since Playing for Change has been featured in People magazine, on VH1, BET, Univision, NPR music, and a bunch of other blogs you'd think I would have heard about it...but I had not! You may have seen it before but it is so worth repeat viewings and support.

The Athens Blur Blogazine articulated my experience well-

Every once in a while I stumble across something online that is so interesting and genuinely intriguing that I end up getting lost in it and losing half of my day checking it out. I recently had one of those moments when I happened upon playingforchange.com mid-Internet perusing."

Playingforchange.com is..well this video explains it better than I can, other that to say "It is awesome!" Truthfully I think it is music therapy on the largest scale possible

... again, awesome.

Here's another good one

The Playing for Change Foundation has now been building music schools around the world, which is even more incredible. You know me I love me some arts, and some arts education! ;) One of these schools has its own blog, that of course I think you should check out. Informal teaching at the school has just begun! Be prepared to get lost for an afternoon...seriously, this stuff is that amazing. 

Much Love,
