For military veterans recovering from the wounds of war, music therapy has a transformative impact. Healing our Heroes, launched in 2013, provides individual and group music therapy and adapted music instruction to restore, support and improve the physical, emotional, and neurologic functioning of wounded veterans, and to improve the quality of life for veterans and their families.

The Conservatory works closely with the Bronx and Montrose VA Hospitals as well as four local veteran centres. Through the generous ongoing support of individuals, foundations and corporations, services are provided at no cost to veterans or their families.
