Musical Minds Center is needed to make a difference. Our initiative is to increase Hartford's CT graduation rate, public schools GPA and help reduce the inner city crime rate. We will bring celebrities from different genres of music and use music as a motivation to teach students specific tools and techniques to deal with problems such as fighting, arguing with parents, lying, picking on classmate
s and behavior problems in school and in the community. Behaviorally troubled teens lack the skills to solve the problems they encounter every day. We help them with these problems and teach them to grow out of their old set of beliefs and bad habits into new creative and artistic habits. The environment and parents are important for the behavior and choices of adolescents. That’s why we build a good relationship with individuals and setup a learning environment that gives it a peaceful home setting feeling. We become a positive peer group/friend to offer them the opportunity to develop various social skills, such as empathy, morals and leadership. Peer groups can have positive influences on an individual, for instance on academic motivation and performance. Being around the wrong peers can have a negative influence and lead to experimentation with drugs, drinking, vandalism, and stealing. Our program keeps them away from negative peers and teaches them the skills to realize their ambitions.
