to connect with ourselves and with others around us
using beautiful instruments from around the world
through the universal language of music

and to communicate with others using music
a place to just be yourself free of judgement
music improvisation encourages communication,
self expression, respect for self and others

away from the stress and judgement of work and family
a break from life's challenges whatever they may be
a place to connect without the need for words
