🎤🥁 Playing and creating music in a group is a great empathic process.

Supported by studies, co-creative music-making including musical creation, music composition, music production, and musical practice is linked to improve empathy, especially in children, through mechanisms like interpersonal coordination, empathy, and seeing things from another’s point of view. 

The synchronized ability to anticipate with quick internal preparation for other musicians' upcoming action timing can be developed.

Also matching the dynamic levels with other musicians greatly enhances the ability to empathize with the other musicians and co-interpret the song together.

Playing and creating music in a group requires focused listening, a forecast of a collaborator’s timing and expression, and real-time emotional compatibility — all essential empathic processes.

Singing and Piano lessons are offered in Nanoose Bay, serving Parksville, Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach, and Ladysmith areas in BC.
