Music, uniquely among the arts, is both completely abstract and profoundly emotional. It has no power to represent anything particular or external, but it has a unique power to express inner states or feelings. Music can pierce the heart directly; it needs no mediation. — Oliver Sacks
Connection.
Music is the universal language of our feelings and a part of what makes us human.
Grief is a unique process that everyone handles differently. Grieving can feel very lonely, and music is one of those elements that has the power to give us connection.
Music can put our feelings into words we can’t find ourselves, and after the death of a loved one, music is often the only thing that understands us.

Expression.
Here at The Cole Project, we know first hand the benefits that creating music can provide.
Playing music immerse us in the now and helps us lose ourselves in the moment.
Learning an instrument, writing songs, jamming with friends, or producing beats can all give you an amazing opportunity to both get lost in the moment and share your story. Music speaks when words are not enough.

Hope.
Music gives us hope. Sometimes just listening to the right song at the right time can remind you that you aren't alone and that things can get better. Knowing that someone out there has felt similarly to you can make all the difference. Songs speak to us in a way that words don't.
