Chords for Change is a community-based music program, established in Sonoma County in 2009.  The goal of Chords for Change is to improve the quality of life for the women and children who reside in homeless or domestic violence shelters in Sonoma, and Napa county.  We aim to use the healing power of music, along with proven techniques of music therapy as the vehicle for achieving our goal.  Chords for Change will serve to promote empowerment, alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, boost self-esteem, elevate mood, express feelings, enhance coping skills, improve communication, and decrease feelings of isolation.
