10 Intermezzo January 2016 The transformative and healing power of music is the heart of the mission, programs and impact of Harmony, Hope & Healing (HHH). Founded in 2000 by a classically trained singer and music educator, Marge Nykaza, HHH was originally intended as a summer music proj- ect at a shelter for women in recovery and their children in the Wood- lawn community. Nykaza and shelter directors recognized that there was a deeper need at the shelter, and the music was becoming a tool in residents’ healing processes. Established as a 501(c)(3) in 2003, Har- mony, Hope & Healing grew through the years and now provides on- site music programs to under-served families and individuals at eleven Harmony, Hope & Healing Choir on the steps shelters and outreach centers in the Chicago area. HHH programming of Old St. Patrick’s Catholic Church complements comprehensive programs that strive to lift people out of homelessness and poverty. Many participants are recovering from social illnesses such as addiction, community violence and domestic abuse, however through the restorative power of music, they progress to find their authentic voice, gain confidence and grow into self-reliant and assured individuals. Harmony, Hope & Healing is proud of its many success stories, but a recent and inspiring story is that of Tamela L. A 50 year old recovering addict, Tamela is a participant who first came to HHH through St. Singing in Old St. Patrick’s Catholic Church Martin de Porres House of Hope. Almost immediately, Tamela con- with the HHH Choir nected with the music and the techniques that she learned in the choir, despite the fact that she hadn’t had an extensive background in music. “I had some background in music, but not too much… but the program helped bring out who I really am both musically and spiritually.” The music programs of HHH transform participants, and help them find their center, as Tamela explained, in particular helping her to express the emotions and to be in touch and in tune with herself, teaching her ways to “calm and control negative emotions.” While HHH offers tools in healing, it most importantly offers a safe and affirming place in which to share and heal together: “in the circle, there is always a positive energy; always a song to sing… and I know that it doesn’t matter what my past Students in the Sister Jean Hughes Adult High is.” Tamela hopes to become an HHH intern, and eventually a Program School of St. Leonard’s Ministries participate Assistant, positions that HHH offers to former participants who have in HHH programming. St. Leonard’s Ministries turned their lives around and believe in the power of music’s healing. “I is program that helps formerly incarcerated men and women find opportunities, work and want to bring my story to others to help them, because anyone who’s reintegrate into the community. walked in my shoes can feel my story.” Tamela is just one of the many people helped through HHH’s music programs, and one of the testa- ments of what music can do. Former participant and current Program Assistant Amanda has said it best: “Harmony, Hope & Healing is changing lives, one song at a time.” If you would like to learn more about Harmony, Hope & Healing and our program sites, donate, join our choir, or to volunteer with us, please visit our website at www.harmonyhopeandhealing.org
