Foundation Book Announcement


The Foundation for Music and Healing is happy to announce the forthcoming release of a new book, Making Our Own Kind of Music by Foundation president and founder Chris Robinson. Making Our Own Kind of Music is a major initiative to share innovative ways pioneered by the Foundation to bring the benefits of music and movement to students who have special needs.
Written for parents, caregivers and professionals, this valuable resource is designed to help people in communities across the nation to develop similar programs to get help in music and movement for their children who have special needs. The book traces the development and growth of the Foundation for Music and Healing, Inc., a non-profit, community- based organization headquartered in South Bend, Indiana. It also gives, for the first time, details of what has made services offered by the Foundation effective among students with special needs. You can read a sample chapter here.

Events to celebrate the book's release will be held at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in University Park Mall on Friday, May 8th and Saturday, May 9th. You can download the schedule of events here. The first day will consist of an introcudtion to the book, with a slideshow and discussion with Dr. Robinson, as well as a workshop and piano recital. On Saturday, May 9th, there will be more music recitals throughout the day, as well as a book signing period.
