Programs
Musik SoulChild Academy
We created the “Muzik SoulChild Academy” as a 4-6 week program that teaches kids Grades 6-9 how to play a music instrument. This first session of the program will teach Guitar. We will have professional guitar instructors teach kids the instrument 1-2 times a week until the course is complete. Upon completion of the course the kids will receive a KCF completion certificate as well as their very own guitar to start their musical journey. Our anticipated goal is to introduce musical instruments to children who come from disenfranchised communities, by exposing them to musical arts and promoting mental health awareness. The development of the cortex happens more rapidly when children learn to play an instrument because they learn to better focus their attention, control their emotions and decrease childhood anxiety. Music, in general, helps bring balance and Harmony in one's life. Children who learn to play an instrument have an outlet for creativity and their emotions. And are also less likely to suffer from depression.
