City of Everett Human Needs Grant <br /> January 1 through December 31, 2018 <br /> Snohomish County Music Project <br /> Music Therapy for At-Risk Children <br /> EXHIBIT A: Program Summary <br /> The Music Project seeks to promote the positive social development of children and <br /> youth using music and, as a result, build safe and healthy communities. The Music <br /> Therapy Initiative objective is to use the power of music to inspire disconnected children <br /> and youth to develop pro-social, self-esteem and resiliency skills. <br /> (1) Students sign up for this program through Horizon Elementary; (2) music therapists <br /> work with the students to build their ability to follow directions, make decisions, self- <br /> regulate, and have positive social interactions; and (3) with each quarter lasting 11 <br /> weeks and culminating in a recital, students are given the opportunity to showcase their <br /> skills through individual and group performance to their significant community members. <br /> The agency targets students in grades 3-5 at Horizon Elementary School. Six (6) 1-hour <br /> long group sessions take place during 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays with a maximum of <br /> 6 students in each group. <br /> Board certified music therapists will be responsible for planning and implementing music <br /> therapy programs for designated groups. Interns and practicum students will also be <br /> used as appropriate. <br /> This funding will support 22 music therapy sessions serving a minimum of 70 of the City <br /> of Everett's at-risk children during this grant cycle. <br /> 11 weeks x 8 hrs. per day = 88 hrs. x 2 quarters = 176 units <br />
