Enjoy peaceful music that can help you feel calm and relaxed.

Ralph Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending 

— Sometimes music can help you slow down and let your mind wander by creating pictures or places in your mind. Like this piece by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

 — Music can play a part in some of our favorite memories and can help us feel comforted and happy.

— Some music can help us relax our minds and our bodies and lull us to sleep. This piece is a good example of sleepy sounds.

Through her many mentors at KROC in Rochester, Minnesota, Melanie Renate learned how to splice tape in tandem with learning how to use her voice. She eventually found her path combining her ability to care for people with her love of radio broadcasting. As a certified health and wellness coach and a passionate yogi and mental-health advocate, she has developed a deep appreciation for ways in which music can aid in overall wellness. She is excited to bring her passion for people with her as she steps back behind the microphone as a classical host.
