Archaeologists have found a pre-historic instrument carved from cave bear bones, and it can still be played today. The Neanderthal Flute is thought to date back at least 50,000 years, making it the oldest known musical instrument in the world. https://t.co/mdmplPH0M6

How about a little Prokofiev to boost your immune system? Sound like quackery? It’s not. Numerous studies have found that both performing and listening to music can have a significant impact on the immune system. https://t.co/7V19tXeWfM

Research tells us that music is one of our most powerful therapeutic tools in helping to mitigate the effects and impact of depression, anxiety disorders, stress, loneliness and isolation. It also offers a pathway to connecting with other humans. https://t.co/KZVodrI0pz
