At SWAN, we believe in the transformative power of music. Every note played and every song sung can help children heal, grow in confidence, and discover joy. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new Harmony at Home: A Family Music Toolkit, a free resource designed for families, caregivers, and supporters.

Why Music Matters

Music is more than entertainment. It’s a powerful tool for connection, healing, and resilience. Singing, clapping, and playing rhythms together helps children reduce stress, express emotions, and feel a sense of belonging.

What’s Inside the Toolkit?

The toolkit is filled with simple, family-friendly activities that anyone can try:

  • 🥁 Kitchen Drum Circle – Make rhythms together with pots and pans.
  • 🎤 Sing Your Feelings – Turn emotions into fun songs.
  • 🌬 Breathing with Rhythm – Use music to calm and regulate emotions.
  • 🌟 Family Performance Night – Celebrate each other’s creativity.
  • 🎧 Our Family Playlist – Build a playlist that strengthens bonds.

You’ll also find practical tips for parents and caregivers, reminding us that music doesn’t have to be perfect; what matters most is connection.

Our Mission in Action

SWAN: Scaling Walls a Note at a Time equips children affected by parental incarceration to thrive through music and mentoring. This toolkit is one more way to share the healing power of music beyond our classrooms, into homes and communities everywhere.
