Women from the Learning Center at Deborah’s Place, Sedgwick
I love music and just being in the atmosphere of that in the presence of music is the harmony that brings all people together.
Music relaxes my mind, body and soul. It gives me spiritual moments, and it quiets and soothes your ears.

Women from the Musical English Class, the Mantle of Port Ministries
So many new words, beautiful music, and I listen a little better to sounds in a song.
I feel more secure with myself, more relaxed. I appreciate the world and feel it more friendly.
The class helps me to learn English and relax. The music class is like a therapy to me, and I get to sing with my children.

Women from St. Martin de Porres
Music is fun and good for your spirit. It helps me to release all the stress that goes on and learn how to do something different.
I have learned how to get along with others and that no matter what happens, God is with us. With music it makes me feel good about myself inside, it makes me feel at ease with myself. It gives me peace of mind.
I like best going to different places to sing and to bring a little joy to others who are unhappy or to just share a moment when things aren't going right.

Men from Higgins House
Musical expression uplifts the spirit. There is freedom of spirit through song.
Music teaches me how to listen and understand situations in my life.

From the children in the program:
I've learned to never give up! And I like to play the drums.
The songs that we sing help me to calm down when I get mad.
If you have a talent you shouldn't be afraid to share it. I'm now able to share my talent with family and friends.
