It has been verified by extensive, well-documented research that active and mindful music exposure could significantly reduce the risk of developing cognitive decline in later years.

One of the latest major studies of over 10,000 participants presents evidence suggesting that music-related activities may help reduce the risk of future dementia by as much as 39%!

Music is also a sanctuary for one's thoughts and feelings and an experience devoid of rhetoric. It is socially unifying and it can mitigate stressors.

Based on these findings, Sapieyevski, an accomplished musician and educator offers guided, interactive Music Encounters for preorganized groups. The sessions are specifically designed for non-musician adults. (No previous music training is needed.)

Sapieyevski's approach has been developed over the years of impactful university teaching and a past collaboration with an accomplished neurologist. The Encounters' sessions enhance "listening" to music (vs. merely "hearing" it) and also explore the cognitive benefits of hands-on exposure to music theory.

Given the compelling evidence of music's impact on the brain, it would seem essential for everyone to pursue this acknowledged method of nurturing one's mind.*

In Sapieyevski's Professor Emeritus appointment, American University states:
"An amazing 100% of students on Rate My Professor report that they would take the course again."

In addition, here are a few (unedited) quotes from official evaluations of his various presentations - each quote comes from a different attendee:

"I will be able to appreciate all music on a higher level. The teacher is extraordinary.

Actually changed my way of thinking about life. It's been a really unusual and marvelous experience. Thanks, and please come back.

This class has been refreshingly different. I listen to music a lot and this course has inspired me to discover a new and more enjoyable way to listen.

I enjoyed the teacher tremendously. He is a great musician who inspired all of us in many ways that were unknown to us.

What a breath of fresh air! He is terrific with an interesting style (+ remarkable ability at the piano!)."
