Music, Wellness, and Shared Experiences
Music can do more than entertain us. It can help us slow down, reconnect with ourselves and others, express what words cannot, and bring a little more creativity into everyday life.
Drawing on her background in music therapy, performance, and adult music wellness education, Cheryl Costello offers workshops and musical experiences that explore the many ways music can enrich our lives. Some are active and participatory, while others invite quieter listening, relaxation, and reflection.
Adult Wellness Workshops
Music and Well-Being
Explore practical ways to bring music into everyday life, from mindful listening and music-assisted relaxation to using music to support movement, mood, and connection. Workshops can be adapted for community groups, libraries, and adult enrichment programs.
Drum Circles and Group Music-Making
Experience the pleasure of making music together in a welcoming, participatory setting. No musical experience is needed. Group drumming offers a chance to play, listen, find a shared rhythm, and enjoy making something together.
Sound and Listening Experiences
Discover the textures and tones of instruments such as Native American-style flute, metal bowls, and chimes. These experiences can create space for quiet listening, relaxation, and exploration through sound.
Music for Meaningful Occasions
Music can give special moments a voice of their own. Cheryl also offers acoustic folk music for gatherings and ceremonies, including weddings, memorials, and other occasions where music can help make the moment meaningful.
