Harmony Garden ECOsphere
Early childhood opportunities and music therapy services truly benefit all: from birth through hospice, it is important that quality services are made accessible to ALL. At Harmony Garden, we acknowledge that many families, individuals, and facilities are unable to access our services due to financial reasons. In 2021, Harmony Garden wrote its Diversity and Inclusion statement. It was important to us that our actions match up with our words, so we created the Harmony Garden ECOsphere.
- Accessible Early Music Education: Provides early childhood music opportunities to families who may not afford or access traditional programs.
- Enhanced Development: Supports young children's cognitive, social, and emotional development through music.
- Community Engagement: Builds a sense of community by including families from diverse backgrounds in inclusive programs.
- Increased Awareness of Music Therapy: Expands the understanding of music therapy's benefits across different demographics.
ABOUT OUR opportunities
The ECOsphere is an outreach initiative that has two branches: Early Childhood Outreach and Equitable Client Opportunities (both of which can be abbreviated to E.C.O!) Our Early Childhood Outreach partial scholarship was started to provide early childhood music to families who may not otherwise have the means to afford or attend one of our Harmony Garden Sprouts classes. As of the Fall 2023, we have given over 60 partial scholarships to families who otherwise would not have been able to afford our classes!
Making Music Therapy Accessible
Our Equitable Client Opportunities (E.C.O) initiative ensures that individuals who truly benefit from music therapy can access it, regardless of financial barriers. Through reduced fee or free sessions, we bring the healing power of music therapy to those who need it most. From emotional well-being to enhanced communication, this initiative transforms lives and promotes inclusivity in therapeutic care.
Building Foundations Through Music
Harmony Garden’s Early Childhood Outreach initiative makes music education accessible to families who might not otherwise afford it. Through our Sprouts Classes, we provide young children with the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, and cognitively—all while fostering joy and connection. This program ensures that every child can experience the proven benefits of early music education, no matter their financial situation.
