AT HOME MUSIC MENTORSHIP

When Songs For Kids mentors have the opportunity to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with kids through our Music Mentor Program, awesome things happen.

Songs For Kids At Home Music Mentorship works to bring music into the hearts and homes of kids and young adults with illnesses, injuries, and disabilities. At no cost to families, participating kids are matched with professional musician mentors who can make their musical dreams come true,  whether that’s learning to play the guitar, taking singing lessons, or writing and recording their own music. For some of our kids, just listening to music and engaging with our mentors is a powerful experience. To make our services as accessible as possible for families, our mentors meet kids where they are: at home where they can feel safe and comfortable.

What Can You Do With A Mentor?

Songs For Kids mentors work to be present with kids regardless of their learning abilities, sensory processing, degree of movement, or coordination. We take the time to get to know each kid’s unique needs and ensure they are getting the most out of each session. The focus is on having fun and enjoying the music. 

Activities that kids can do with their mentors include:

  • Sing along with your mentor
  • Enjoy the music
  • Songwriting and recording
  • Learn an instrument
  • Take voice lessons
  • Anything else musical? Just ask!
