Joy Givers' Words . . . .

Resounding Joy is the most mutually enriching experience I've ever known. Imagine a setting where you get to do what you love with the people you love! It is a blessing.

One man diagnosed with Alzheimer's and autism was brought in to a session at one of the community-based day programs, and came alive before my eyes. I became a believer.

It never ceases to amaze me the unbelievable power of music and its impact on peoples' lives. I enjoy watching others grow from their experience and interactions through music and am eager to experience this awesome involvement myself!

I wish the whole world could have this experience.
