Changing Lives Through Music

About us

DANIEL'S MUSIC FOUNDATION (DMF) is a non-profit organization, founded in 2006, to empower individuals with developmental and physical disabilities through music. Since then, we have greatly expanded our programs to serve more individuals and organizations, both within and beyond our community. Music has been used as a healing force for centuries. Its beauty, power and personal relevance has made it a wonderful instrument for the wellness and rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities. We have learned first-hand from experience, the truth in this statement. We believe in inclusion, diversity and the indelible ability of all individuals to creatively express themselves. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the various ways we are changing perception, diminishing isolation and providing overall access to music for individuals with disabilities.
