WHAT IS HARMONY?
Harmony is a multi-discipline performing arts workshop for kids with and without special needs ages 7 and older. Once a week, students learn acting, dance, and music together with Penn State student mentors. The college student mentors go through a Special Education Training workshop and are security background checked.
Music and Drama Therapy have been used successfully with people of all ages and a variety of disorders and afflictions. Research has shown music helps all kinds of people to better express themselves and their emotions. Harmony takes things a step further by having college student mentors in an integrated classroom with all 3 performance mediums. In this way, Harmony is a great way to build relationships, promote inclusion, develop emotional awareness, and improve communication and self expression.
