🎶 Discover the power of music to connect, heal, and inspire!

At the Cincinnati Music & Wellness Coalition (CMWC), we believe music is more than entertainment. It's a powerful tool for supporting health, wellness, and meaningful connections.

Through evidence-based recreational music-making, education, and community partnerships, we're working to bring the benefits of music to people of all ages and backgrounds.

🥁 Exciting news from Cincinnati Music and Wellness Coalition! 🎶

CMWC founder and CEO Arlene de Silva is sharing the power of HealthRhythms Group Empowerment Drumming with the international percussion community!

Arlene's article, featured in the October 2026 issue of Percussive Notes, the journal of the Percussive Arts Society, explores how evidence-based recreational music-making can support well-being through stress reduction, emotional expression, and social connection. 💙

And there's more! On November 14, Arlene will present at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) in Indianapolis, sharing the science and benefits of HealthRHYTHMS with percussionists and music professionals from around the world! 🌎

We're excited to see CMWC's mission reaching new audiences and spreading awareness of the power of rhythm to support health and wellness!

🎶 What a wonderful way to wrap up the season!

The Cincinnati Music & Wellness Coalition was thrilled to participate in the final Art on the Rise event of the season at the Cincinnati Art Museum! 🎨💙

Attendees enjoyed the beautiful sounds of the handpan performed by Prana Rising, while our talented facilitators, Lauri Ann and Nehemiah, invited everyone to get involved and make music together using ocean drums! 🥁

It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate creativity, explore rhythm, and connect with others through the power of music.

Thank you to the Cincinnati Art Museum and everyone who joined us for such a memorable event! 🎵

🎶 What an incredible day of music, learning, and connection!

The Cincinnati Music & Wellness Coalition recently hosted its 14th Annual Music & Medicine Conference at Centennial Barn in Cincinnati! The event brought together healthcare professionals, musicians, researchers, educators, and community members to explore the powerful connection between music, health, and well-being. 💙

We loved hearing from attendees about their experiences!

💬 “This conference was truly lovely! I truly appreciated the quality of the live stream, and the diversity of topics presented.”

💬 “This conference was awesome!! Cannot wait to share with my Residents and Team!!”

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our presenters, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, and everyone who joined us in person or virtually. You helped make this year's conference a wonderful success!

We look forward to continuing to share the power of music to support health, wellness, and connection! 🎵

🎶 What a wonderful way to celebrate music and family!

These eight cousins and a mom regularly participate in our Sunday Clavinova Connection and HealthRhythms sessions. The children are also members of a choir and recently wanted to share some of the songs they've been learning!

One of their songs is performed in both English and Kirundi, a language spoken in East Africa. 🌍

We love seeing families come together through music and share their talents and cultures with our community! ❤️🎹🥁

🥁 A look back at our September HealthRhythms Facilitator Training in Cincinnati!

It was wonderful to see participants from Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia come together to learn, connect, and experience the power of rhythm firsthand. These newly trained facilitators are now equipped to bring HealthRHYTHMS to their own diverse communities and help others experience the benefits of group drumming.

We’re excited to see where they take it next! 💜🎶

Every musical journey has to start somewhere!

We recently started a new Clavinova Connection beginner class, and it was wonderful to see children and family members learning and making music together.

One of the most important parts of Recreational Music Making (RMM) is that it isn’t about performance or playing every note perfectly. It’s about participation, exploration, connection, and enjoying the experience of making music.

There were plenty of wrong notes today—and that’s exactly okay! Clavinova Connection creates a welcoming environment where beginners can start at the basics, learn together, and discover the joy of making music.

CMWC's HealthRhythms facilitator, Jim Waddle, leads monthly HealthRHYTHMS sessions at The Pavilion at Kenton in Covington, Kentucky. We’re proud to have offered HealthRHYTHMS at The Pavilion for about 15 years!

We’re grateful for Jim’s dedication and for our long-standing partnership with The Pavilion of Kenton. Here’s to many more years of rhythm, wellness, and connection! 🎶
