"Singing releases oxytocin — sometimes called the 'love hormone' — which helps reduce anxiety and build feelings of trust."

"Without her school music class and in-person lessons due to shelter-in-place restrictions, we were afraid our daughter would lose momentum with her music. We feel very fortunate to have the opportunity for virtual lessons through CVSOM! Now she can maintain her regular weekly music lessons with the same instructor, just from the safety of our home."
