Nashville Music Academy has always been very grateful to serve the Autism community. Our students on the spectrum always inspire us. No two individuals with Autism are the same and neither are their gifts and abilities (which are many). Music lessons for any age and every ability has been our motto since we first started NMA in 2015. In those 10 years, we have helped many adults and children with Autism realize their talents and musical aptitudes. Our recitals showcase the bravery and hard work of our students and are always tremendously inspiring for everyone involved. So it was no surprise when we came across this CBS segment about inspiring individuals with Autism and had to share.

Watch is HERE. If you would like to know more about our programs and lessons, please give us a call/text at Nashville Music Academy at 615-521-1937, or email us.

Billy Joel on Music Healing

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from everyone loves music.”

Today’s research agrees with Billy Joel. The healing powers of music help us cope with pain, but also benefit our physical and mental health. Fortunately, music is a common thread in every human society.

Physically speaking, music has been shown to descrease pain, motivate athletic performance and endurance, improve sleep quality, decrease over-eating habits, and enhance blood vessel function.

In terms of mental improvement, music has been proven to reduce stress, enhance the meditative state, decrease the severity and frequency of the symptoms of depression, sharpen cognitive skills, and increase successful performance in stressful environments. The benefits of music are also seen in easing patient stress related to surgery and cancer therapy.

The healing power of music is a universal medicine, one which the whole world can partake. You can begin the path to a sounder mind and body today at Nashville Music Academy. We take appointments 6 days a week from 10 am til 8 pm (see weekend hours). It’s time to start taking your music vitamins Nashville!
