What is a mindful music moment?
Mindful Music Moments provides a daily mindfulness prompt followed by 3 minutes of orchestral, jazz, world, and new music from world-class orchestra partners (including the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra) as a way for staff & students to find a moment of stillness and focus before and/or during the school day. In 2021-2022 the program was used by 320 PreK-12 schools, reaching 135,000+ students! This program provides a Tier 1 PBIS experience for all and helps students with self-awareness and self-management (CASEL) to have the capacity for higher learning and cooperation.
