The U.S dedicates May to Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM), and what better reason to reflect upon the many benefits that music has on our mental health! 🧠 BBB Members can check out our curated "Wellbeing" section in the BBB Members Area, and for non-members, stay tuned for more MHAM posts across all BBB socials this month!

Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Shawna and Acclaim was created out of a desire to celebrate music education in our area.

Central KY has a vibrant community of music teachers who have a heart to impact the next generation. We believe that music education is more than just a way to have cool concerts. We know that we are encouraging our students to work hard and persevere even when learning their instrument is hard. We are working to build a generation of resilient students who push through their insecurities and not give up. Music may be our means but it is not the focus.
