“I am excited to work with Music Moves Us because I believe that music has the power to heal.  I believe in the need for a program like this.  I believe in connecting the dots for struggling individuals- helping them see how music can assist them in changing whatever they want or need to change in their lives.  Using music as the conduit for connection- group participants who have become isolated might be pleasantly surprised by how much they WANT to talk and express themselves in non-traditional therapeutic setting.  Music moves us!  Music connects us!  Music heals us!”
