Over the years studies have found that music therapy can assist with some of the challenges attributed to autism. We Rock for Autism was inspired based on the desire to increase autism awareness and acceptance coupled with my love for music and the fact that music is a therapeutic and useful in autism therapy.
Garry Kvistad, Grammy Award winning musician and founder of Woodstock Chimes has started a new endeavor called Woodstock Chimes for Autism. From the Woodstock Chimes website, “Woodstock Chimes offers a unique variety of high quality, affordable musical gifts from around the world that inspire, entertain and bring pleasure to people of all ages. We design and sell the world-famous Woodstock Chimes and distribute a line of award-winning musical instruments and toys called the Woodstock Music Collection”.
Woodstock Chimes for Autism is their latest design. The chime is tuned to a melody from Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21. The Woodstock Chimes for Autism also features a bright, nickel-plated windcatcher with the symbolic, multi-colored puzzle pieces.
