[AltText] A cream colored post has on both left and right sides red and blue bars that descend down. In between both sets of bars are three red stars that are at the top of the text. Below the stars, the following text reads, “Let’s Celebrate! Happy 4th of July! Have a safe holiday! We will be closed today but reopened tomorrow, 07/05/202.!” Below the text is the CFILC logo. Above the text are red firework graphics and opposite on the bottom are blue firework graphics.

When music enters your life, whether you are listening to or playing an instrument, it can’t be denied that the power it creates is unlike any other. Whether used for recreational or therapeutic purposes, having musical instruments available opens doors for everyone. In the second of this two-part blog series, we are going to focus on musical instruments designed to support people once they are already well underway on their musical journey that are either accessible from the start or can be adapted to support the needs of most any musician. The instruments we have featured for this second part are more advanced, from adaptations to software to instrumentation.
