Our Mission

We strive to educate, cultivate, and guide Musicians with disabilities and/or autism, or Veterans who are Musicians, through our outreach and on-site educational programs. We offer life-changing music development and educational experiences for people of all ages and levels of experience.

Methodology

Starting off with our “IMERS”, the nation’s first “Immersive Mobile Educational Recording Studio for Musicians with Disabilities, allows us to take the “Recording Studio Experience” right to them. This will solve the problem of so many people with or without a disability to cultivate & grow their talent and offer their gift to the world. Whether it’s actual playing music, singing, the support of the music industry, (production, recording, marketing, sound/lighting, etc.), we will give them this opportunity even if they can’t afford to. Imagine parking our Mobile Studio at a school where their own music programs are lacking or non-existent. We can bring the Arts back to the schools and beyond. Using standard recording practices and now Virtual Reality, we can offer anyone, especially those with a disability the opportunity to experience the world of music. This is only one of our programs and more to come!

We offer our programs and instruction to anyone who has a passion for the Arts including our Veterans and anyone with disabilities and on the Autism Spectrum, but not limited to, with our SEN (Special Education Needs) programs & classes. We offer Music Therapy with our SEN Teachers through our partnerships with key educational and music organizations. They say strength comes in numbers. Ours comes in numbers and a deep passion of the Arts. We call this “Education Through Imagination”.

Advocating for
Music Education

Music and the Arts are vital to every child’s education. We offer tools and resources that validate the importance of music in the schools and help grow community support when budgets seem to either fall short or have been taken away.

Groundbreaking
Music Research

The Foundation has joined forces with NAMM and The National Association for Music Education for scientific research on the mental, physical and emotional benefits of music. We then educate, helping to validate the importance of music at every stage of life.

Creating Opportunities
for ANYONE

Your support helps us to fund life-changing music creation and education experiences for people of all ages and levels of experience. From school children to the elderly, these programs bring inspiration, education, healing and hope to a diverse array of music lovers.

Music Therapy
& Education

Music Therapy is also what the Bill Carroll Foundation will offer students as well as people with disabilities and to promote wellness for newborns, children of all ages and adults alike.

Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in a wide variety of healthcare and educational settings.
