?Musical Motto? was a multiple residency program for students with Autism and Emotional disturbances to develop a personal motto of empowerment through the songwriting, producing and performance. In partnership with 226M, part of NYC District 75 Citywide school Districts,  students with special needs had the opportunity to become stars of their own contemporary musical production while learning the basic elements of writing, editing and public communication. This program inspired and motivated students who would not have ordinarily participated to become active partners, and target academic, therapeutic and social learning goals. 

This program has been supported by The New York Times Company Foundation and The New York State Music Fund.
