88+ Ways Music: What's YOUR Music Story?

We are on a MISSION to promote how valuable and important music is in all of our lives: Academically, Therapeutically or just overall making us a happier society. To make this happen, we launched the "88 Ways Music" book series: "88+ Ways Music Can Change Your Life" and 88 MORE Ways Music Can Change Your Life, both featuring over 100 original quotes, anecdotes and stories relating how music has impacted the lives of people all over the world. Included in the book, are nearly two dozen Grammy award winning and Platinum selling artists & songwriters.

YES - We are now searching for inspirational music stories for possible inclusion in the next edition of the "88 Ways Music" book series.

Our life experiences make us who we are today. Many of us credit music as playing a vital role in who we have become and where we are in our lives.

• Did music help get you through a difficult time in your life?
• As a musician/performer or audience member, did you ever witness a particularly emotional experience involving music?
• Was there a particular song, artist or other person that strongly influenced you musically while growing up?
• Did you learn to play an instrument or take part in your school's band or chorus and how did this experience affect you?
• Was music used to help you during a type of therapy, either to motivate you or to get you through an extremely challenging time?
• When you look back now, how do you think your life is different, or has changed, because of Music?
