KIDS Radio Program (COMING SOON!)
This program transforms patients into live DJs, giving them the opportunity to operate their own radio station. The Art of Elysium installs radio equipment in the hospital to make the radio available to all kids right at their bedside. Professionals such as DJs, sound engineers and technologists teach children radio station skills while providing entertainment to other children within the hospital entertainment. Children will use the content developed through other Art of Elysium Workshops such as comedy, acting, and music.

Mix It Up
Professional DJs offer workshops in how to mix music to each child’s personal style.  Children are able to choose the music that moves them whether it be reggae, dance, blues, hip hop, or pop.  DJs will guide participants in learning how to scratch, twiddle, and flare to create their own themed music mixes.

Musical Performances
Professional guitarists, drummers, pianists and vocalists perform with and for the children and create a forum to discuss music, instruments and musical performance. Children have hands on opportunities to learn about music by making and playing their own instruments.

Music Lessons
The Art of Elysium provides music lessons to children who have a passion for playing instruments. The lessons, if ongoing, will lead to a performance for friends, family and other invited guests. Through collaboration with Gibson Guitars, The Art of Elysium is able to donate new guitars to children participating in lessons.

Songwriting Program
Many famous songwriters use their songs to express their feelings and tell their stories. In this program professional songwriters work with children help them write their own song and put it to music. When the song is completed, each child has the option to perform the song and record their song to a CD.
