My name is Aitana and I am the founder of “Motion Through Music” and I want to tell you about my why. When I was fourteen I sat on the piano playing a song my grandmother had taught me when I was first learning to play 9 years prior. My grandmother, who is a woman I’ve always looked up to and admired has what doctors call senile dementia and it makes communication between us difficult. Sitting on that piano with my grandmother beside me playing every note perfectly while not remembering even my name completely transformed my perception of music and opened my eyes to realize that music transforms and enlightens all individuals. In that moment I knew I wanted to give back to my community while also fighting to raise awareness about a cause that is close to many of our hearts and present in our community.

At Motion Through Music, our mission is to inspire and empower individuals of all ages to discover the transformative power of music, while raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research. Through personalized music lessons, community sing-alongs, and music-based events, we aim to foster creativity, connection, and joy, all while supporting the fight against Alzheimer's disease. By combining music education with philanthropy, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact on both the lives of our participants and those affected by Alzheimer's worldwide.
