Once upon a time, in the melodious state of Indiana, lived a group of children who were far from ordinary. You see, these were not your run-of-the-mill Indiana, football-loving, corn-eating, racing enthusiasts. Oh, no! These were the magical music-makers, the tuneful therapists, the harmonious healers of Hoosier! The laughter and lively sounds of the children echoed through the vast stretches of golden cornfields and bounced off the towering race car tracks. They gathered every day in their secret lair - the Music Therapy Center, a place that looked like a giant rainbow painted piano sitting smack dab in the middle of a sunflower field. And who guided these gifted little geniuses, you ask? Why, none other than Professor BoomBap, who was as funky as his name suggests.

He had a voice that sounded like a lullaby sung by a jazz saxophone and a smile that could outshine the starlit Indiana night sky. Professor BoomBap had a knack for making things ridiculously fun. With a “One, two, three. Let’s make some glee!”, he encouraged the kids to explore the world of music therapy. They strummed, thumped, clapped, and sang, healing and growing stronger with every note they played. Through their melodious mayhem, these Indiana kids discovered how to communicate their feelings, enhance their memory, and build their confidence.

His jazzy flamboyance and their collective symphony made the state of Indiana a place full of laughter, love, and most importantly, music.
