WHEREAS, The Texas Music Project, a charitable organization |
|
|
dedicated to preserving the state's musical heritage and supporting |
|
|
and developing the next wave of musical talent, is making a |
|
|
difference in the lives of disadvantaged youth through its Music |
|
|
Heals Program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the past two decades, the Texas Music Project |
|
|
has promoted music as a positive creative outlet for young people; |
|
|
recognizing a need for enhanced support of music education, the |
|
|
organization has raised funds, donated instruments, and offered |
|
|
instruction, mentorship, interactive seminars, and live |
|
|
performances to underserved and at-risk students; through these |
|
|
efforts, the organization has invested in the future of Texas music |
|
|
and inspired many gifted young musicians to reach their full |
|
|
artistic potential; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Alongside its educational efforts, TMP's Music |
|
|
Heals Program has brought hope, joy, and healing to children |
|
|
confronting medical challenges by providing funding and resources |
|
|
for hospitals' music therapy programs; among the most notable |
|
|
projects under the Music Heals Program, the Song of Hope initiative |
|
|
empowers young patients to create their own personal anthems of |
|
|
hope for their healing journey, and it has garnered media attention |
|
|
and helped to showcase the transformative power of music therapy; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through its Music Heals Program, the Texas Music |
|
|
Project has given countless young Texans the opportunity to |
|
|
experience the wide spectrum of physical, mental, and emotional |
|
|
benefits of music therapy, and the organization is deserving of |
|
|
praise for its efforts to uplift those who are facing adversity; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize October 12, 2025, as Music Heals Day |
|
|
in Texas and commend the Texas Music Project for its support of |
|
|
music therapy to foster the health and well-being of children in |
|
|
need; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for TMP as an expression of high regard by the Texas House |
|
|
of Representatives. |
