Music & the Arts
Music is the most powerful tool in the life of a child with special needs. Many may ask why; however, music is a remedy that develops your spirit, soul, and mind. Music is also a universal language to all God’s creations. According to researchers, music helps develop language skills and listening skills in a child. Music is a link between all cultures regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender. In special needs children, music helps these children identify patterns, colors, tempos and melodies. Music stimulates the mind in any child, so how much more in a child with special needs. There is a musician in every special needs child; it is our duty to inspire and cultivate these gifts out of them. The purpose of this organization is to evoke any talents hidden in children with special. Music heals the mind, the soul and the body; it is by healing through the word of God that we can impact our society, churches and communities around the world one child at a time.
“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”
-John Wolfgang von Goethe
This quote is so powerful because if we treat special needs children the way God intended them to be powerful people of God; we would not notice their shortcomings or their disability. We would cultivate and inspire them to achieve any of anything in life. We would notice the potential in the lives of children with disabilities. Art is another way to heal children with vivid colors. It is an opportunity to expand the imagination of a child. Art develops problem solving skills, communications skills and creative skills. Arts stimulates personal expression in every child. Every child has an artist within itself; It is through artistic activities that these children can grow a passion for colors. Children with special needs are masterpieces of God and have the same opportunities as we do. It is our goal to develop the lives of these children to be great because they too deserve a future.
