MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Love Learning Music is a 501(c)3 non-profit education organization founded in response to the overwhelming developmental needs of children. Through volunteer youth mentorship, our founder, John Bosworth, realized the powerful life change that came through adaptive music education. Witnessing the positive impact, it became clear that helping children improves the entire community. Love Learning Music began by volunteering to meet the needs of children and inviting the community to join in supporting the vision to create passionate pioneers of change! The Love Learning Music mission is to use music and fine arts to educate, equip, and empower the whole person, regardless of age, ability, or socioeconomic status.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

The Love Learning Music vision is to help people, families, and communities live happy and rewarding lives. Our purpose is to provide therapy, education, and resources, specializing in underserved children. One of our goals is to expand our Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) Extended Learning Programming. Our vision is to include group programs such as music therapy, music education, and musical theater. Musical theater would be a brand new program for Love Learning Music and would include classes on improvisation, choreography, singing, and more. Another goal for Love Learning Music is to grow our current partnerships with local organizations such as the TN Dept. of Substance Abuse & Mental Health, other 501c(3) non-profits, including Hope Kids, Move Inclusive Dance, Special Kids, Cave House Workshop, and Youth Villages, Rutherford County Schools, homeschool groups, nursing homes, and local libraries. Growing our current partnerships will increase our group and one-on-one music therapy sessions, music education classes, and private lessons. Love Learning Music also has a goal to begin in-school music education and music therapy services for youth at MNPS.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Music Therapy, Music Education, & Resource Provision and Development Love Learning Music's music therapy program includes board-certified music therapists providing music therapy to people in need regardless of age, ability, or socioeconomic status. We meet in person or virtually and offer one-on-one and group music therapy sessions. Group music therapy involves two or more clients with overarching goals that benefit each group member. In contrast, one-on-one music therapy focuses on one client and their specific needs as an individual. Our music therapy sessions begin with a standard assessment that evaluates the client(s) and collects baseline data for documenting progress. Music therapy is especially beneficial to those who have suffered trauma, those with special needs, and those with mental, emotional, and behavioral struggles. Some specific benefits to development include measurable improvement in functional communication and social skills, fine and gross motor skills, managing stress and anxiety, and the ability to recall from memory. The Love Learning Music music education program provides lessons in all areas of music: singing, general music, theory, all instruments, audio production, and any other areas our students desire! Positive Growth with Music is a specialty program that uses music to aid in developing essential skills like listening and communication. Our adaptive music lessons include 1-on-1 or group music lessons designed to help those with special needs, those that have suffered trauma, or anyone that needs an adaptive approach to learning. Our general group music classes are music education classes adapted to meet each group's needs, including general music, strings, rock band, pop music, and choir. Our individual music lessons are for specific instruments, musical subjects, or audio production. We offer most instruments, audio production, video production, and musical theater lessons. This program is beneficial for providing positive mentorship. Love Learning Music's resource provision and development program decreases barriers to accessing essential, developmental, and musical resources. We provide educational technology, food, and school supplies to those in need. We also offer musical instruments for our students to keep at home so they can continue to learn and develop. Love Learning Music has a dedicated team that creates technology-aided resources, so education and encouragement are ever-present. Our current mission is to keep creating instructional videos, and our future goal is to build software-aided educational resources.
