Team-building and stress reduction through music

View(s):

A team-building workshop was held on December 2 and 3 by Kent Ridge, a human resource management company, attended by 40 civil engineers (M. Sc in Construction Project Management graduate students at the University of Moratuwa).

Included in the first day’s activities was a music & wellness programme : Health Rhythms by Arlene de Silva, CEO of Global Music & Wellness. This peer-reviewed scientifically proven programme was innovated by Barry Bittman, MD, an American neurologist, CEO of Yamaha Music & Wellness Institute, and US healthcare expert.

The programme is used for team-building, stress reduction, improved communication, and strengthening the immune system.
Arlene de Silva’s brother, veteran journalist, Rex de Silva, worked with her on the music & wellness initiative, prior to his death in November 2015.
