Military

Builds morale, resilience and teamwork across Marine Corps youth programs in a family-friendly format; student songs make care packages, and the recording day drives positive youth engagement on the installation.

We support resilience and readiness, morale, youth and family engagement, and teamwork with the SEL books, keynotes, and the music recording program.

FAQs

Straight answers.

Yes, a teen advanced edition. Staff looking for music activities for high school students usually find the available material is written for younger children and does not survive contact with a teen audience. The advanced edition is built for that age.
Children, Youth and Teen Program settings — youth centers, school age care, teen programs, and camp programming.
If they hold a Government Purchase Card, generally yes. Micro-purchases up to the $15,000 threshold are the purchase card's intended use, and no competitive quotes are required when the price is reasonable and documented in the file.
Quantity, grade bands, ship-to address, and your obligation deadline. We will return a quote the same day with UEI and CAGE so it can go straight into the purchase file.
Yes, on the Psychological Effects of Music Family Resource Books. Program staff turnover is high in youth programs, so several sites schedule training at the start of a program year rather than at purchase. On site or virtually. That book is the only thing we train staff on.
Yes. Music recording and video production programming runs at youth centers and teen programs. It also functions as team building for youth councils and leadership groups — recording requires coordination and honest critique, which is what those groups are practicing anyway. Quoted separately from materials. Send your dates and your obligation deadline together.
No. We send our own staff to run the programming. We do not train your staff to run it. Recording and production is a skill set, not a procedure. Trying to hand it off in a few hours would be like teaching a doctor to perform surgery in an afternoon — you would get a session that technically happened and a result nobody wants to hear. This is separate from the staff training we offer on using the books, which is a real service. Recording is delivered by our people.
No. We are supplemental. We do not replace your SEL curriculum, your trauma-informed practice, or any program you already have in place. If you run a core SEL program, keep it — ours adds a music-based component alongside it. If you have trauma-informed protocols, training, and referral pathways, those stay in force exactly as they are. Nothing in our material substitutes for them, and our facilitators are not a substitute for your clinical, counseling, or behavioral staff. Your existing youth program curriculum and referral processes are unchanged.
Yes. The Psychological Effects of Music interactive Assembly is built for exactly this — a family engagement event where parents and children participate together rather than sitting through a presentation. That is the difference that matters for attendance. Families come to an event where something happens; they skip an information night. The session is music-driven and participatory, so a parent who speaks little English and a fourth grader are in it on the same terms. Marine Corps family programming and family readiness events both fit the format.
Yes. The Psychological Effects of Music interactive Assembly works for staff development, family readiness events, and teen programming. Quoted separately from materials.
