Project Title: Collaborative Songwriting Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Hear Your Song (HYS) empowers children and teens with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. HYS provides power and choice\u2014and a microphone\u2014to young people with a wide range of diagnoses, both physical and mental health conditions, that so often deprive them of both power and choice in their day-to-day lives. At HYS, we believe that every young person deserves the chance to define themselves on their own terms.<\/p>\n
HYS seeks funding to expand our national Collaborative Songwriting Program for youth living with serious illnesses and complex health needs. We deliver this program, free of charge for all youth and partner organizations, through both virtual and in-person songwriting sessions facilitated by community collaborations with children\u2019s hospitals, camp programs, and other nonprofits. <\/p>\n
The goal of all aspects of this program is to offer long-term empowering experiences to youth living with significant health conditions. Through trauma-informed, kid-driven songwriting sessions, youth participants write and produce their own songs about anything they want\u2014from loving pasta to living with epilepsy\u2014and to participate as much as they want in the process of turning their lyrics into fully-produced songs. All youth write their own lyrics and many record their own vocals, compose their own melodies, and produce their own beats and tracks. Others suggest ideas for musical style, melody, instrumentation, and tempo, which our volunteer composers and musicians then use to create a recording of the song that captures, as precisely as possible, what the child imagined. <\/p>\n
The goal is for every youth songwriter to continue to engage in Hear Your Song\u2019s ongoing programming and community, including Peer Songwriting Groups and live performances following the initial songwriting experience. Pivotal to our mission, HYS amplifies the songs that kids write to ensure that our youth songwriters\u2019 voices are heard and celebrated.<\/p>\n
