Change Lives Through the Power of Music!

You can change a life forever…

“George, what can I say for George? He is 4, he is adorable, he is joyful. Last year he couldn’t walk and now he runs. He has his own bed now and has proudly slept in it for at least 3 months now. He is still considered nonverbal but his repertoire of sounds has blossomed. Music Therapy has enabled someone with differences to feel the same, to know he can do something that he has never done, to have courage. I cannot explain what music does to the brain to enable us to learn past expectation; I only have witness and relief when he surpasses expectation.” – Sonya, mom of George.

“When Yasmin started taking off – consuming pieces at faster and faster rates – Debbie (her teacher) would sometimes (generously) extend our lesson times, and some of my favorite memories of that time were of both their faces, intent on the music as the clock ticked away. Once, with tears in my eyes, I said to Debbie that there was nothing more marvelous than a child who wished to learn and a teacher who loved to teach” – Shirene, mom of Yasmin

Help us inspire a new generation…

The City of Manchester is one of the most culturally diverse cities in New Hampshire as well as a refugee resettlement community. The majority of our Manchester and surrounding area students come from varying ethnicities and socio-economic status. This population has the greatest need for services and the most limited resources with which to obtain them. Many of these families also have children with special needs, which further compound the challenges they face. Providing students with a safe place to be, an adult role model/mentor, a learning environment that will provide them with lifelong skills, in an atmosphere where they can express themselves and feel supported is priceless.
