Playing music has been found to increase the volume and activity in the brain’s corpus callosum — the bridge between the two hemispheres — allowing messages to get across the brain faster and through more diverse routes. Enjoy some favorites from Hearts Need Art’s Musicians-in-Residence as they perform some of their favorites:

1. Fly Me To The Moon, Frank Sinatra.  Performed by Marisa Castro.
