Children's Music Therapy Program Receives Target Grant for Adapted Music Lessons
PCDA recently received a $3000 grant from Target® which will provide several children with special needs the opportunity to learn about music, through participation in Adapted Music Lessons. Many children with special needs show interest in learning an instrument, but are not able to benefit from traditional music lessons. To support these children, Pasadena Child Development's (PCDA) Adapted Music Lessons look at each child's individual needs, paying close attention to their unique sensory profiles, learning styles, and individual strengths. These specialized lessons are taught by board certified music therapists and use the power of rhythm, sound, and movement to support children with developmental disabilities to learn how to play an instrument.
Please help children like Max, to explore their creativity through the beauty of music. Donations of any amount are gladly accepted to support this program.
We are very grateful to Target who give back to their community!
