A day at work can always be made better with music and a moment to relax, and that\u2019s exactly what the Rest with Music<\/a> series at MSU provides. The Rest with Music <\/a>program helps connect faculty and staff to local musicians that provide a free 50-minute live music session every month at Abrams Planetarium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we know about music is that music has the capacity to impact human emotions in ways that\u2019s pretty phenomenal. We know that it reduces experiences of depression and anxiety. We know that it actually improves people\u2019s health and there\u2019s lots of both scientific and anecdotal evidence,\u201d said Jonathon Novello, an employee assistance counselor with the University Physician\u2019s Office at MSU.<\/p>\n

Started in 2013, the program is sponsored by the Health4U program<\/a>, the University Physician\u2019s Office<\/a>, Abrams Planetarium<\/a>, the MSU Community Music School<\/a> and the MSU College of Music<\/a>. Performers at the sessions consist of local bands, solo performers or faculty at MSU.<\/p>\n

The next Rest with Music<\/a> session takes place on Monday, Nov. 25 from 12:10 p.m. \u2013 12: 50 p.m. at Abrams Planetarium. Find out more information about the Rest with Music<\/a> Series at http:\/\/health4u.msu.edu\/rest.<\/a><\/p>\n
