What our clients are saying
“After my accident, I was told by doctors that I wouldn’t be able to talk right. They also thought that I wouldn’t be able to even walk …. Through the music program, I learned to sing and of course talk. I even invited my Speech Pathologist to the studio to hear me and help out. Thanks a million guys for everything.”
— Stevie K 18 years old
“I had severe apathy after my accident, but always felt I had a knack for singing. My Rehabilitation Therapist mentioned I should record my compositions in a real studio, which I didn’t want to do at first due to fear, but then changed my mind. It was the best decision I ever made for myself”

Meet Claude
Music Program Producer/Director & Rehabilitation Support Therapist
Claude was born into a family of both musicians and clinicians
From the age of 6, Claude was no stranger to the sounds of music as he witnessed his father playing the piano, conducting choirs, and writing music. He easily took up a love for piano and began composing original songs at a very young age, later completing 3 published original composition music albums in the United States. Later in life, Claude would go on to become a rehabilitation support therapist and realize the outcomes of his two interests were not so dissimilar. They both had the power to bring comfort, solutions, and healing to others.
With the creation of the “MY MUSIC & ME” program through Elements Support Services, the notion of music as a healing tool was born.
