Making Music With Heart Among Isolated People Living in Poverty
The volunteer singers and musicians of Music with Heart create joy in places not normally associated with good times. The troupe appears and gathers in spaces at homeless shelters, prisons, and residential facilities. They come alive with popular music. Residents and Music with Heart connect. Hearts rest. Spirits lift. Hope is believable.

The Issues of Homelessness
Research from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reports that “Massachusetts has been experiencing the highest increase, by percentage, in family homelessness out of all the states in the country.” Homelessness should not preclude happiness and human connection.
The Value of Music
“Music is fundamental to our species, perhaps even more so than language.” –Neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin. Experiencing a Music with Heart program allows individuals to transcend current conditions and experience the essential hope and good feeling evoked by song sung in community.
Music with Heart Solutions
We believe in the healing energy of music. Many studies support these efforts and have proven the effectiveness of interactive-music making. Music with Heart volunteers see first-hand how awareness, community, participation, and well-being are fostered in this creative environment.
