Where At?

So I need to find a place to perform my presentation. I would like to present before May 10th if possible. I don't really have a preference as long as it's in central Houston and easy to locate. I need to start doing some research on places that I could perform. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I will be posting up my ideas of my presentation soon.

Reaching Out

Maybe instead of asking people to perform, I will go visit and maybe actually get to participate in the session. If I can't, just observing would be awesome! I am really excited about this project. It's an amazing thought to be able to help people and brighten up there day by doing something I love to do.

So I am going to talk to my teacher Susan and try to see if her husband, if not too busy, can be on my panel. He knows much about music therapy because it was his major. I just want all the help and research I can get

If You Never Try You'll Never Succeed

What I want to do is have a performance. I want to present how music is powerful and can inspire someone to do great things. I wan to show a video of Nathaniel Ayers, an extraordinary violinist with schizophrenia, and show how he transforms into a completely different person when he's creating music. I would also like to contact music therapy clinics with patients and possibly have them perform. That will be the complicated part. I don't know if people will be willing to come and perform, but i can only try. I want to show how music literally works magic.

I will speak a bit about my grandfather and how music affected him and I will illustrate how music has had an effect throughout my life. I will also perform and sing a song or too.

I need to figure out where I'm going to have this performance and what exact date. Does anyone has any suggestions? If it costs money I will have to find a way to raise the money.
