Existing to entertain and give back, M3F is Arizona’s largest 100% nonprofit music festival, with all proceeds benefiting local, nonprofit organizations. Designed to promote Community, Culture and Charity, M3F has donated more than $2 million to local charities; raising $509,000 in 2019 alone. For the second year in a row, a portion of proceeds from the Festival will focus on funding the Phoenix Children’s Hospital Music Therapy Program. This program takes a unique approach to healing; applying the passion and power of music to help children heal as they undergo medical treatments and rehabilitation.
“We don’t work on music – we use music to work on other skills…. Each session varies so widely; I work with kids from the first day of life to early adulthood with varied diagnoses and needs. Sometimes, if a patient’s in pain, I play the guitar at bedside to help them calm down so they can sleep with a reduced need for medications. I can hum a lullaby to help an agitated infant receive treatment. Sometimes a session is an engaging one where we can use drums or shakers; sometimes with older kids, we work on songwriting to help them express their feelings. I can also support family bonding too; maybe just for a moment, a mom can hold her child while I sing, and feel a little more normal.” – Julie Renato, a Board-Certified Music Therapist at Phoenix Children’s Hospital
