Mercy Music: Home
Mercy Music fulfills our mission of bringing mercy, love, hope and healing to the world through three different types of music...or "songs."
A Song for Healing…
Therapeutic music can reduce anxiety in patients, help alleviate pain and even regulate heart rate and blood pressure. We are bringing live, therapeutic music to the bedside of patients in homes, hospitals and hospices. Mercy Music’s trained Therapeutic Musicians provide a service to patients in clinical settings. With a gentle bedside manner and a compassionate approach, patients, health-care staff and caregivers alike experience a relaxing atmosphere that creates an environment conducive to healing of all kinds... physical, emotional and relational.
“...the guitar playing is so beautiful. It sounds like bells and light”

A Song for Outreach...
Live music can bring a sense of peace…it can reduce situational anxiety, facilitate communication and create a healing environment that encourages meaningful emotional expression. Music can create an atmosphere of beauty, peace, and reverence for participants in therapeutic settings. Live music can help restore the human spirit. Mercy Music comes with a message of hope into residential treatment facilities, drug and alcohol rehab programs and correctional facilities.
“…on behalf of the children, staff and board of directors thank you for the great music and uplifting message you shared. The girls are still talking about it. You touched many lives.” Vicky, Girls Treatment Facility Employee
“…thank you for coming, it was amazing. I hope you can come again and make us feel better. You made me feel better.” Sally, a teenage patient at a Residential Treatment Facility.
A Song for the Next Generation...
Impacting and influencing the lives of young musicians around the world…
…this is the mission of Mercy Music Academy. Not only providing instruments to needy children, but also providing musical education to those that would otherwise never be able to afford it. To date, Mercy Music has provided over 550 instruments to children in 16 different countries on 5 continents.
We are supporting music education in the gang and poverty ridden areas outside of Antigua, Guatemala. Instruments and education bring children a sense of hope, a feeling of worth as well as helping them learn self-discipline and goal setting. Learning music helps children grow intellectually, emotionally and socially.
“…poverty has as much to do with the lack of opportunity as it does with the lack of basic needs being met. These kids are gifted just like any other children, they simply lack the opportunity to develop their artistic skills. Thanks to Mercy Music, that is changing. Janet – Founder, Casaverde Music Academy, Antigua, Guatemala
What We Believe
We believe that music is a gift to the world that is freely received and Mercy Music seeks to freely give this gift to enrich life for the poor, the forgotten, the sick, the dying, the hurting, the widow and the orphan.
We believe every musician deserves and instrument of their own.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity for a musical education.
We believe that every human life is deserving of mercy and love.
We are supporting and promoting musical education around the globe...Check out the video "Mercy Music in Antigua, Guatemala" to see some of these students.
We have provided over 500 instruments to children and young musicians in 15 different countries on 5 continents! Some of these musicians have gone on to professional careers because of an instrument that was given to them through the generous support of Mercy Music donors. Do you have an instrument collecting dust? Contact us and we will put it to good use!
And thanks for stopping by our website. Please consider supporting this work with an instrument donation or a financial gift. We are a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax-deductible. Just safely click on the "donate" button to help heal the world through the gift of music!
This young lady was born in the jungles of Burma after her family fled their village that was being bombed by the government. Music was one thing that gave her family strength while they were 18 years in hiding...she came to America and could not afford a guitar...and that's where Mercy Music came in!
