What We Do

While doctors use medications to treat symptoms, Music Therapy can provide additional healing, both for the body and the soul. Engaging sick children in music-making and listening helps reduce pain, fear and anxiety, and provides a much-needed distraction from their conditions and medical treatments.

Audrey Creevey and Rose Koo receive stipend from Children's Music Fund for conducting over 2000 hours of Music Therapy as UCLA Health

Today, we mark a milestone in the history of our organization by expanding access to Music Therapy for children through a ‘first of its kind’ collaboration with UCLA Health. Through the support of our donors, our Music Therapy Intern Sponsorship fully-finances clinical internships for two Music Therapy students at UCLA Health.

This nine-month program provides over 2,000 healing hours of Music Therapy while supporting the educational requirements for board certification and licensure of students to attain the highest level of distinction in the field of Music Therapy.
