We were contacted last year by a local elementary school in Ft Bend about doing a fundraiser for our center. They asked for us to come out to talk to the K-5 students about Music Therapy, show a few activities and they then helped to raise money for The Music Therapy Center of Houston by taking pictures and selling them to families and friends. After they were done we came back and did another presentation and were able to take a few pictures of these great kids with such big hearts! It is because of such generous donations as this that MTCH is able to provide music therapy services throughout the Houston and surrounding areas. Thank you and there might even be a few future music therapists in the group!
