THERAPY is a well-established allied health profession, listed under
Health Care Careers Directory by American Medical Association,
similar to occupational therapy and physical therapy. It consists of
therapeutic uses of music to address behavioral, social,
psychological, communicative, sensory-motor, and/or cognitive
functioning. It enhances one's quality of life, involving human
relationships, which are structured and adapted through the elements
of music to create a positive environment and set the occasion for
successful growth and change.
Because MUSIC THERAPY is a
powerful and non-threatening medium, unique outcomes are
possible. MUSIC THERAPY is used successfully with all ages and
disabilities.

composition and music production, working with many very
prestigious artists including Dave Matthews, Metallica, Elliot
Smith, and Destiny’s Child. While continuing to create and
compose his own music, and producing for his own record label,
Shawn’s strong belief in the healing power of music has never
wavered. His music will transform you significantly. Another
famous local musician, Ron Tish, creator of
“Hang Loose” will entertain and delight you with his smooth
voice and music. Ron is one of the founding board members of
Sounding Joy Music Therapy, Inc., a well-respected musician, and
an inspiring music educator. Our newest board member is
Master Shen Wu whose music will also be highlighted
during our celebration. Master Wu is the founder of Music Qi
Gong, which combines the ancient Chinese healing art with music.
Master Wu’s numerous concerts throughout the world have
attracted thousands of people who have felt his healing
serenity. We invite all of you to experience how powerfully his
music will touch your mind, body and spirit.
And… you’ll hear more music from our
clients, music therapists, physicians and board members.
This very special ANNIVERSARY GALA CONCERT will
astonish you with its power to refresh, rejuvenate and renew!!
Sounding Joy Music Therapy, Inc. is Hawaii’s first and only
non-profit, 501(c)3, organization to locally promote music
therapy. We also are Hawaii’s first Medicare and Medicaid

supported in part by the State Foundation on Culture and the
Arts through appropriations from the Legislature of the State of
