STAY TUNED FOR VETS
Music Programs for Veterans
Healing through harmony – building confidence, community, and connection with every note.
About the Program
Launched in August 2025, our Veterans Music Program offers free guitar lessons led by Director of Veterans Music Programs, Daryl Morrison, who brings over 50 years of experience as a guitarist and educator. With a dedicated team of instructors, we provide one-on-one lessons and group sessions designed to support veterans of all skill levels. Classes focus not only on music, but also on the therapeutic benefits of rhythm, creativity, and shared expression. This is our first quarter of programming, and we are already seeing the impact of music in the lives of Veterans and their families.
