Update on our newest round of lessons... guitars are all over Summitview's campus with students practicing on breaks and lunches! 

Staff feedback, "guitar lessons are making a positive impact on behavior." 

Student feedback, "When I was feeling really stressed and overwhelmed, I just played my guitar, and I felt a lot better. I played rather than self-harmed or other negative behaviors."

Hello Legacy Music Supporters!
One of our former students contacted us recently. She was an orphan from another country and adopted here in the US. Her contagious, beautiful, sweet spirit and dedication to practicing guitar was inspiring not only to us but to her peers. She reports that she is still practicing every day, which is of no surprise!
Thank you for supporting our efforts!
Musically Yours,

I am thrilled to report that my most recent counseling efforts include work with fire survivors of the Paradise, California Campfires at Heartstrings Counseling in Loomis, California.  My internship work has offered me the opportunity to provide guitar therapy to not only fire survivors but others in an effort to overcome mental health challenges through music. 

This January, Legacy Music and Heartstrings Counseling are excited to announce that I will be providing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) combined with Guitar Therapy (GT) group counseling for teens struggling to overcome mental health issues. Legacy Music is thrilled to provide guitars and musical supplies to support this endeavor! Thank you for considering a tax-deductible donation to Legacy Music in providing the gift of music to all we hope to reach in our 2020 therapeutic efforts and goals.
