A participant’s improved communi- cation ability enables their engagement with friends, family and larger society. The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function Music Therapy Clinic for Apha- sia® has witnessed follow-up benefi ts such as renewed confi dence and social engagement. One participant who had plateaued in traditional speech therapy showed such remarkable gains in just two months that his case was presented at the National Speech Therapy Association’s annual meeting by the Executive Director of the National Aphasia Association. His improvement is directly attrib- utable to ASCAP Foundation funding as he could not aff ord the session fee. • SONGWRITING WITH: SOLDIERS SongwritingWith:Soldiers operates from a simple principle – pair returning ac- tive duty soldiers and veterans with professional songwriters in a retreat set- ting to craft songs about personal experiences in a way that helps heal their pain and uplift their spirits. During these three day retreats songs are co-cre- ated based on the soldiers’ stories of combat and returning home using col- laboration and creativity to foster mutual understanding, respect, and healing. Over the last two years, SongwritingWith:Soldiers has produced over 160 songs of loss, triumph, struggle and resilience with more than 120 vets. Their stories be- come songs that can be sung and shared forever. As a 2014 participant said about the experience, “I can’t believe something so painful could turn into some- thing so beautiful.” This program is proudly supported by The ASCAP Foundation.• MUSIC EDUCATION “CHILDREN WILL LISTEN” Kids may know about the great Broadway theater tradition but – let’s face it – tickets are expensive! The ASCAP Foundation has a solution for this and thanks to generous donors, our “Children Will Listen” program, named in honor of ASCAP member and musical theatre great Stephen Sondheim, was estab- lished to bring the musical theatre experience to young students.

  • Mancini Sample.Indd
    Prologue n a trip to Pennsylvania in 1988 to conduct the Pittsburgh OSymphony Orchestra, Henry Mancini felt an unmistak- able tug luring him back to West Aliquippa, the town where he’d grown up. It had been decades since Henry had been back to see what had become of the place where his life and musical journey began. The musician friends traveling with him from Los Angeles were happy to accompany their beloved bandleader on the impromptu roots trip. Henry shared some of his personal history with his com- panions on the drive. He told them how West Aliquippa was once a thriving steel town where the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company employed the majority of the town’s residents, includ- ing his father. It was not unlike other Rust Belt towns of that era, filled with hard-working immigrant families. As they pulled into what was left of the town, it was clear that Henry had not prepared himself for the level of economic devastation that had befallen West Aliquippa, which seemed to have been reduced to dust and broken glass. There were no people on the street—just a feral cat that darted out in front of their car. They drove around until Henry was able to trace his steps back to Beaver Avenue, which took longer than it should have because things were not all where they used to be. As they turned a corner, he felt a bit disoriented as he searched for numbers on the houses. Then he finally found it: 401, his childhood home.

  • BIO INDIA.ARIE Lauded As a Soul Music Superstar from Her Early
    BIO INDIA.ARIE Lauded as a soul music superstar from her early twenties, India.Arie has always been at once angelic and mystical while managing to never isolate her audience – she is as at home accompanying a hip hop artist as she is producing truly spine-tingling soul music. India’s message of healing, love, and compassion viewed through the lens of her indelible artistry and spiritual practice has made her a global difference-maker for nearly two decades. It was 2001’s seminal Acoustic Soul (nominated for seven GRAMMYs) and the groundbreaking self-acceptance anthem “Video”, that established her as a bold new transformative force in music. Twenty-two GRAMMY nominations later (with four GRAMMY wins), she endures as one of the most empowering artists in music history (she launched her own lifestyle/music brand SoulBird in 2011), notching multiple award-winning albums and influential, chart-topping singles, meshing soul, folk, pop, R&B and hip hop and redefining the boundaries of the socially conscious singer/songwriter. Recognized as a major influence for a new generation of socially aware artists, India is both ahead of her time and of it - an evocative creative force on a mission to spread healing, peace, love and unconditional self-acceptance through the power of words and music. It’s no secret to India.Arie fans that the word ‘worthy’ has been an empowering expression of self-love for her and her audience over the years. Faithfully repurposed as the title and theme of her brand new 16-track album, including 13 songs and 3 interludes, India’s first full-length offering in five years is set to impact a world finally attuned to the kind of empathic sea-change the humanitarian singer/songwriter has embraced her entire career.
