Donations to the Music Therapy Program
Story provided by Kathleen Miege, Teacher at Salmon Arm Secondary School
The Individual Achievement Program at Salmon Arm Secondary is fortunate to offer a music therapy program that supports student growth and well-being. Led by registered music therapist Larry Keats, students work one-to-one or in small groups to explore instruments, different styles of music, and self-expression through recording.
Music therapy offers many benefits, including building confidence, communication, emotional expression, focus, and social connection. Most importantly, it gives students a joyful and creative way to engage, feel successful, and connect with others through music.
We are grateful to Music Heals Charitable Foundation for their generous $4,000 contribution this year, which makes this program possible. Dr. and Mrs. Munro have also shown remarkable generosity by matching this donation, ensuring the program can continue for another school year. Their kindness and commitment, along with the support of Music Heals, truly make a meaningful difference in our students’ sense of belonging and joy.
