How Kinesiology and Music Connect

Kinesiology and Music: combining movements

Whether exploring music for personal fulfillment or credit, being in ensembles is often an artistic escape for students. Although Kinesiology and Music are seemingly different disciplines, Ana Hill finds beauty in how they intertwine. “Music is naturally a fantastic way to initiate movement, from tapping your foot to full-on dancing! It motivates us while we exercise so that we can increase our stamina and improve overall performance,” she said. Ana plays alto saxophone in the Jazz Ensemble and is grateful for the space she found at Grebel. “Weekly rehearsals are a great escape and provide a sense of community and creativity in a welcoming environment.”
