- Adult Music Program (AMP) in Cedar Rapids
- SoundReach Singalongs offered remotely via Zoom
- Therapist led lessons on piano, guitar, voice, or drums offered remotely or in person at any location
- Special summer music groups, to be announced soon!
At times, recreational programs have also included bell or boomwhacker choirs, ukulele bands, or rock bands!
