Abstract

This thesis project, titled Music Education for Mental Health: Creating a Participatory Music After School Program, consists of a research paper and curriculum guide for the creation of a nonprofit after school program that will use music education to help youth with depression and anxiety. This program provides participatory music experiences to students in a supportive and cathartic environment. The paper details the research behind the psychological benefits of music, the activities that would be done with the students, and why there is a need for this program in current society. The curriculum guide consists of the addressed national music education standards, unit calendar, multiple sample lesson plans, and musical examples.
