Instrument of Hope

Keeping the gun violence conversation on the main stage.

We wrapped up our 2021 Summer Camp Shine sessions! We’re so grateful for Eagles’ Haven for allowing us to bring our community together as we continue to provide healing through art and music to students all over Broward County 💜 #ArtHeals #InItTogether

“Bring me you” was made in collaboration with our Songwriting students Juliana, Abril, and Michael Matthews. Juliana has a special gift of synesthesia which allows her to perceive music as colors. Our videographer was able to create a lyric video based on the colors she ‘hears.’

Today we celebrated Love & Kindness Day! As we encouraged students to do a random act of kindness, we also honored the 17 lives lost 3 years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14th, 2021. #LoveandKindness #GiveAHeart #MSDSTRONG #ALLEYESONUS @MDCPS @MDCPSSouth

This Sunday, February 14 we are partnering with Eagles’ Haven to honor our fallen Eagles, families, and communities impacted by this tragedy. We will have our board certified therapists, Bree Gordon and Alicia Ballestas on site to provide Art & Music Therapy sessions 🦅❤️

We honor and celebrate Dr Martin Luther King Jr today and we remember his words forever.

“Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness can not drive out darkness: only light can do that.”

Wednesday marked the start of our fourth Songwriting & Music Production workshop! Our students shared some of their goals for the class and a glimpse of their original songs. Looking forward to continuing to help students come together during this time 🎶💫

Another powerful piece from our student Emma Folmer. “Devil You Know” was made with the help of our fall songwriting & music production team. Great to see our students channel their emotions through music 🎶💫

Yesterday’s Art & Music Therapy session allowed us to express ourselves creatively and find comfort in moments of chaos. We are so thankful for all the students who attended and made our Winter Camp Shine program so special.
