Outreach Programming for At-Risk Youth
Jamie,* age 17, sat arms crossed, a hoodie and baseball cap pulled down low covering his face, angry and withdrawn.
When first invited into the group music session he cursed and refused any participation. One of his parents had been sent to jail, the other absent from his life. Forced into adulthood at an early age, Jamie clung to the protective air of detachment and aggression.
The other youth in the home reluctantly gathered around the drums and played some familiar beats of a popular song. They were immersed in the group, their uncertainty and hesitation no longer rooted in hostility, but in the pride of creating something new and feeling safe in an environment that promoted exploration, collaboration and respect.
Weeks later, Jamie was the first one in the room, inspired to share the beats and loops he had created and mixed and excited to expand on them. Not of a song that can be found on the radio…yet. But one of many songs he crafted, armed with skills to shape his future into something more promising, more hopeful.

Outreach Programming for Seniors
Mary*, age 83, asked who her visitors were, unable to recognize her son or grandkids.
Mary’s family felt sad and helpless as Alzheimers blurred a lifetime of memories. They searched for a hint of remembrance of the people, places, and experiences she loved. One remnant of Mary’s past persisted.
When Mary sat at a piano, years of playing church hymns in her youth would flow through her fingers to the keys. As she played and sang to the music, her family watched with intense joy. At least for a few moments, Mary could experience her memories and connect with her family in the present.
