What is music? By definition, music is an art form and cultural activity, whose medium is sound.  

There is so much more that can be said about music. Personally, this writer does not have any musical talent beyond appreciating what I listen to. However, we have children who are musically gifted (in fact they are both involved in the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and Rhode Island Children's Chorus... click the italicized links if you want to know about these Rhode Island artistic treasures). This brings strains of music to our home (in fact, our oldest son is practicing on his viola on our back deck as this is written). 

We are also writing this late in May of 2020 in the midst of a lockdown over the COVID-19 virus. Students are not in classrooms. Orchestras, bands, and choruses are gathering on various internet meeting applications. It's what we are able to do now, but it is just not the same.

At Made From RI, we are nothing if we are not informed by our experiences. We look at all of these musicians and how one of the arts that has made our lives tolerable in this most unusual time and how we can provide a way to say "Thank You". Here it is: Musical Ornaments, elegantly designed and crafted in Rhode Island and ready for presentation. They need not wait for a tree... they are there to be hung now (they look great in a window) and encourage those who provide the angelic strains of their art to keep going.
