Community Music Programs
With the support of donors, grants, and community partners, the Music Therapy Impact Fund brings life-changing music therapy to those who need it most.
Hospice Music Therapy
The Hospice Music Therapy Program is in its 7th year of providing services to hospice and palliative care patients in Chico, Oroville, Orland, Hamilton City, and Paradise. Although anyone can request hospice music therapy services through the Fund, we also have a strong collaboration with Butte Home Health and Hospice to provide hospice music therapy to our patients/clients.
North State Therapy Choir & Harmonica Class
Led by Board Certified Music Therapists, this FREE online choir for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, their families and/or caregivers uses neurologic music therapy techniques to address the vocal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. This choir was awarded multiple grants from the Parkinson’s Foundation to get started and we have been fortunate to continue offering it for free through grant awards, donations, and fundraisers.
Not sure about singing? That’s okay! We also lead an online HARMONICA CLASS it’s that is more to your liking.
