There is magic in music – in how it affects our neural networks – how it transmits waves of energy. Through singing, writing, playing and performing we can improve our health and well being, create and strengthen community, and effect change in our world.

During Music Week at The Mountain, nationally touring musicians will guide you through writing workshops, help you interpret your favorite songs, guide you toward improving your playing skills (no matter what level you are at) and lead us in community sings and drum circles! Through classes, workshops, one-on-one sessions and concerts, Music Week at The Mountain will help you discover your magic in music.

SAVE THE DATE! Join us for Music Week at The Mountain April 13th-18th.
