MUSIC AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
WHY IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IMPORTANT?:
Renowned psychologist and author Daniel Goleman explains that Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is vital for personal well-being, as it enables us to navigate our own emotions and understand those of others. In our personal lives, EQ strengthens relationships and enhances empathy and resilience. Our cultural norm is to “keep a stiff upper lip”, which leaves most people unfamiliar with how to tap into the power of their emotions without being overwhelmed. Music is a powerful tool that can break through culturally imposed limitations around feeling negative emotions. Let James show you how to use it. It’s fun and easy to do.
