HEALING MUSIC THERAPY

Resounding Joy is one of the few music therapy organizations serving military and veterans in San Diego. Our Sounds of Service program strengthens resiliency and quality of life through music skills, collaboration, and emotional wellness strategies.

We work with multiple veteran and social service organizations throughout San Diego County, as well as offer programs at our Music Wellness Center in Sorrento Valley.

Most of our Sounds of Service programming is offered for free or at a discounted price, through the generosity of donors, grants, and foundations including support from the USS Midway Foundation, Cushman Foundation, NEA/Creative Forces, La Jolla Kiwanis, the City of San Diego, and California Arts Council (a state agency).

SOUNDS OF SERVICE BAND

The Sounds of Service Band is a community of veterans who come together to make music, connect, and heal. Many members have participated in one-on-one music therapy or our group workshops, while others join simply to play, jam, and belong.
