I'm very excited about the Music in the Neighborhood project as an extension of the ARTZ in the Neighborhood project because music is something that universally brings joy

Everybody just relaxes and enjoys being together, and the music experience too. We just loved it.

It allowed me to create new memories with my mom. Once you put on music for her, she comes alive, and you can see that my mother is still in there

Music is universal. You don't need a language to understand. Whether it is English or Spanish, all you need to do is hear the rhythm.
