R E S O L U T I O N

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.
