Students at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School will be working with the KEYS program to provide comfort through music to young people with cancer. The students from an entertainment industry course will be working on all aspects of putting together a music therapy CD. Students can contribute music or lyrics for the songs. They will be able to work with professional musicians to record the music or may record it themselves.
“KEYS was founded after losing my dad to cancer back in 1993,” said Colleen Bennett, founder and executive director of the program. “We founded KEYS in memory of my dad because music had such a powerful effect in helping him through his cancer battle. “We decided to help kids who are going through the same battle,” she added. “To teach them and their parents how powerful music can be to help them through their cancer battle.”
