KidMusicMed™, founded by fabu records recording artist, Corley Roberts, is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to use songwriting as a means of coping and expression for kids dealing with serious illness. Corley, recognized by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) as a honorary Friend of Music Therapy, uses songwriting, performance, and visual arts in her work with children.

MISSION: To provide emotional, physical and psychological support for kids through the use of music in medicine.

KidMusicMed ™ incorporates the use of "music mentors" who work with kids in various settings (hospital, community, home). The mentors are singer-songwriters that include kids as well. Working along with the music mentors are healthcare professionals such as social workers and music therapists.

Songs created out of the KidMusicMed™ program will be recorded and produced on fabu records and can be accessed through the Internet here at the web site.

The Advisory Board for KidMusicMed™ is made up of professionals in music therapy, medicine, social work and songwriting and performance.

KidMusicMed™ is funded through sponsorships, grants, and fund-raising. Please contact Corley Roberts if you wish to support this program.

The KidMusicMed™ logo you see above was designed by 11 year old cancer survivor, Raina Strausman of Albany, NY, 1999.

The theme song written by Corley, "Be Still", is available for $5.00 plus shipping and handling. This is a limited edition CD single and all proceeds will go the KidMusicMed program. Order Here or contact Corley to purchase a copy of this special recording.
