WHEREAS, The Texas Music Project, a charitable organization
dedicated to preserving the state's musical heritage and supporting
and developing the next wave of musical talent, is making a
difference in the lives of disadvantaged youth through its Music
Heals Program; and
WHEREAS, Over the past two decades, the Texas Music Project
has promoted music as a positive creative outlet for young people;
recognizing a need for enhanced support of music education, the
organization has raised funds, donated instruments, and offered
instruction, mentorship, interactive seminars, and live
performances to underserved and at-risk students; through these
efforts, the organization has invested in the future of Texas music
and inspired many gifted young musicians to reach their full
artistic potential; and
WHEREAS, Alongside its educational efforts, TMP's Music
Heals Program has brought hope, joy, and healing to children
confronting medical challenges by providing funding and resources
for hospitals' music therapy programs; among the most notable
projects under the Music Heals Program, the Song of Hope initiative
empowers young patients to create their own personal anthems of
hope for their healing journey, and it has garnered media attention
and helped to showcase the transformative power of music therapy;
and
WHEREAS, Through its Music Heals Program, the Texas Music
Project has given countless young Texans the opportunity to
experience the wide spectrum of physical, mental, and emotional
benefits of music therapy, and the organization is deserving of
praise for its efforts to uplift those who are facing adversity;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize October 12, 2025, as Music Heals Day
in Texas and commend the Texas Music Project for its support of
music therapy to foster the health and well-being of children in
need; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for TMP as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
of Representatives.
