Lifting Kids' Spirits, One Song at a Time

Coming this November:

Every. Taylor. Song. Ever. Fest!

Join the Party!

Songs For Kids provides music mentorship and interactive programs for kids and young adults with illnesses, injuries, and disabilities. We focus on creative expression, encourage exploration in a safe space, and never lose sight of the fun.

Our musicians impact the lives of kids both in and out of children’s hospitals through live interactive concerts, hospital bedside performances, music mentorship, and songwriting & recording programs. We work with thousands of hospitalized and special needs children and their families as we continue to grow our vision and commitment for national service.

SONGS FOR KIDS CENTER

Located in Downtown Atlanta, the Songs For Kids Center is available for kids with illnesses, injuries, and disabilities to come take lessons, write and record music, enjoy a performance, or put on their own!

The SFK Center offers a wide variety of musical instruments to learn and play, professional studio and stage for DJing and recording music, and mentors who are ready to bring kids’ musical dreams to life.

The Songs For Kids Spectacular

LYDIA

“At Songs For Kids you’re not being defined by your disability. For Lydia that’s important because she doesn’t want to hear about it anymore; she’s done with all that.”

“For Lydia, [music]’s not just a pastime – it gives her life and a reason to keep going every day. I do value that music mentor relationship – it’s really key for her. She really looks forward to working with Weston twice a week. She has memory problems so it always feels good when she asks “Are we going to see Weston tomorrow”?

I think Songs For Kids is so important to her and she’s looking forward to it so much that she’s able to keep it in her brain.”

-Rachel, Lydia’s Mom

JULIANNA

“I know she loves the attention, and Songs For Kids treats her on-age there which means a lot. She has dwarfism so even though she’s almost 12, she looks younger and a lot of people make assumptions.”

“The Songs For Kids Center is a space to be herself and express herself. She lights up when she knows we’re going. I don’t have a ‘morning child’ but she sets her alarm for 8:30 so she can be ready in time for her visit. We didn’t realize how important music was to her until all of a sudden there was a piano in front of her and she was so happy.”

-Jennifer, Julianna’s Mom

NOLAN

“The thing I appreciate, and I think Nolan appreciates too, is that they’re always looking for new things that Nolan can do, like ‘Oh, xylophone isn’t too far from drums,’ and then the next day they’re like ‘Yo! Nolan! We have a xylophone!’ They’re just like, ‘Let’s just keep ordering stuff people ask for and meet them where they are.’”

“[Songs For Kids] exposes him to so many other things he wouldn’t otherwise get access to—school resources are limited. He’s having more chances to ‘talk’ about the things he wants, and he realizes if he asks for things and advocates for himself, he gets them. His learning and growth is slow but it’s measurable and I can see it.”

-Jeff, Nolan’s Dad

ANDERSON

“They take the time to listen to Anderson and the path he wants to take. ...They were quick to assess where he is and keep pushing him. The very first time I was sitting there, Josh was like ‘Anderson, you’re gonna sing this’ and he did! They pushed him without it feeling like he’s being pushed; it’s more about the encouragement and the enthusiasm.”

“His confidence and musical abilities have grown: before, singing wasn’t something he would have said he felt comfortable doing, but he just now performed at his youth group’s open house. “

“It’s been a blessing, it truly has. The treatment hasn’t been easy for Anderson, and this has really given him something to look forward to.”

-Sally, Anderson’s Mom
