What People Are Saying

“How would we even cope with all of this without music!! I am reminded, month after month, of the extraordinary power of music to activate joy, to bring our bodies into movement and to affirm the deep connection we all have. Truly, this unprecedented journey would be more than difficult without Earthtones.”

—Karen, Program Director

“Thank you so much for your beautiful music! I captured some beautiful pictures of L, and her family will LOVE them! The rest of our folks really enjoyed the LIVE music as well. What a treat!”

—Mary, Life Enrichment Team Member

"We were devastated when we had to cease our respite program due to COVID. Within a week figured out how to conduct the program via Zoom, engaging our participants while giving caregivers a break. We offer 90 minutes of programming and we couldn’t do any of this without Earthtones. Their willingness to provide music and horticultural therapy via Zoom has been a lifesaver. We are proud that we figured out how to offer our program during COVID and Earthtones is a huge partner in making that happen." 

—Maria, Program Supervisor

“It makes me smile and laugh to know that he gets such happiness from making music with you all. Is there anything better than music that makes the heart sing?”

—Nancy, Guardian
