Imagine an entire school – students, teachers, and administrators – taking time each morning to turn inward together, and listen to a brief mindfulness prompt and world-class music.
The Well's programs combine best practices in arts and wellness and are designed in partnership with those they serve.
We love collaborating with local, national and international community partners and peoples in a variety of arts programming and mindfulness practices.
We are a small yet mighty team, dedicated to making a big difference with what we have. Your support means the world to us.
This year's Mindful Music Moments program featured two brand new jazz selections performed a talented group of 8th-grade student musicians from the Cincinnati Jazz Academy (CJA), a program between Cincinnati Public Schools and the Kennedy Heights Arts Center. Both pieces were composed by CJA Former Director Dr. Isidore Rudnick.
Their recordings of “Serene Sunday” and “Wonderful Winter Waltz” reached thousands of students nationwide during their regular Mindful Music Moments listening practice, providing invaluable educational experiences in jazz appreciation and the practice of mindful listening.
