Kids Rock Cancer! Music Therapy Program for children ages 8-12
If you have a child in your life who's dealing with the cancer diagnosis of a family member, please consider our new music therapy offering, Kids Rock Cancer!
For a child, cancer treatment of a loved one can unleash a range of emotions: from fear to sadness to loneliness. Children are not always able to express those feelings, or may simply choose not to. Cancer Support Community, in collaboration with Maryville University, is proud to offer the Kids Rock Cancer program which uses the proven healing power of music therapy to help kids give voice to their feelings.

This program is in collaboration with Maryville University’s fully accredited music therapy program in the School of Health Professions.
This innovative program is open to children, 8-18, whose family member has a cancer diagnosis. A Certified Music Therapist will help children express thoughts and ideas that they will convert into song (melody and lyrics), perform, and record with instrumentation.
Children receive the recording on CD!
