Our Story

BHMA was founded and incorporated as a nonprofit by a group of dedicated parents and professionals in 1999.  It was among the first of its kind to use music to help individuals with disabilities grow their independent living skills. Our vision of developing the strengths and celebrating the abilities of our students has endured over the past two decades. The BHMA community has expanded, and while music remains woven through most aspects of the program, we have moved in the direction of education through all creative arts to redefine the services we provide to our community.  BHMA Makers began in the Spring of 2017.  The program is now a main part of BHMA's Vocational Services Department and is continuing to find new ways to engage our participants as part of the visual arts community.
