THE HEALING SOUNDS OF MUSIC, a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization was founded in 2018. Martin Coyne, a retired businessman and Ilona Musil, his Administrative Assistant were seeking a project to fill their spare time, which would provide a needed service to the community. Mr. Coyne had read many articles describing the benefits of music to all ages, but particularly for the elderly, who may suffer from loneliness, depression, various stages of dementia, chronic illnesses and end-of-life situations. He had substantial experience with music having served as a past Chairman of the Board of the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra and as co-founder and First President of Symphonia Boca, a large Chamber Orchestra founded in 2005 and still flourishing. Martin and Ilona became aware that despite there being many professional music therapists, the demand far exceeded the supply.

They thought it would be a potentially good idea to offer healing music programs to residents of Assisted Living Facilities in the Boca Raton area. They first approached Jeff Kaye Music to arrange for the hiring of local musicians and the selection of music to be played. Jeff was Principal Trumpet for the Florida Philharmonic and presently is PrincipalTrumpet and Artistic Director of Symphonia Boca. He enthusiastically supported our proposal and was brought on as Artistic Director of HEALING SOUNDS. One of the side benefits of our program is supplementing the meager income of our local musicians, primarily members of the Symphonia Boca. There is no cost to the residents for this service. Our primary expense is the musicians; all other administrative expenses (excluding legal and accounting services) are borne by the Directors. Coyne and Musil approached a local facility and were warmly welcomed to initiate our endeavor. Thus, HEALING SOUNDS was born and flourished with monthly concerts for the residents and one-on-one sessions with those too infirm to attend.
