June Tunes: Great for your health!




 
     If you have been considering making it out to one of the free outdoor concerts this summer in Oak Grove Park, it's quite possible your body will thank you. Not only can you have a great time out: a date, a social gathering, or a family outing— you may also be enriching your health. 
     Numerous studies have found that music can increase or decrease heart rates and blood pressure depending on the tempo and type of music. It can relax and reduce anxiety as well as stimulate and heighten your general awareness. Listening to live music can also promote relaxation of tense muscles, enabling you to easily release some of the tension you carry from a stressful day. One study has reported that just 10 minutes of classical music a day can actually increase brain stimulation by 30 percent. Who couldn't use that?!
     These are just a few of the overwhelming benefits that listening to music can achieve. Take time for your self and enjoy the sounds of summer at the Gladstone Amphitheatre in Oak Grove Park every Tuesday evening in the month of June. We would love feed back on how you enjoyed your experience of our June Tunes concert series. Have you been able to relax with your loved ones yet? We encourage all our citizens to take part in this great summer program! Click HERE for the schedule.
Come enjoy our parks!
