Our Mission
PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US is a non-profit organization whose mission is to defy social barriers, build unlikely connections, and create compassionate communities by bringing high-quality, interactive music programming to individuals in carceral systems, healthcare settings, and under-resourced international communities.
"This instruction has been invaluable, marking the first time I’ve had a dedicated tutor to guide me on my musical journey."
"Thank you for reminding me that even behind razor wire and locked inside of walls made of concrete, I can still find strength, beauty, and hope for a better tomorrow."
"This is the first time I have been able to relax in here. I could see my blood pressure dropping as you played."
