When music becomes a beautiful means to an end.

Millions of people live each day knowing they have an illness that has no cure. Illnesses like cancer, organ failure, or a fading memory that erases their human connections. SMA Nirvana brings music in their lives through free performances and collaborative sessions by our teachers, students and ambassadors. So that they greet every new day with a song on their lips and joy in their hearts.

And they live better despite their struggles.

We saw this in two pilot sessions of SMA Nirvana: First, with a terminal illness care centre at Bengaluru, Karnataka for its people who battle life-threatening diseases; next, at the NSCI Dome in Mumbai, for people afflicted by cancer and COVID-19.

We saw how music cheers these individuals, uplifts them, and takes them into a space where they want to be. And when you are in that space of joy, you cope better with your condition. Your outlook of day-to-day life improves. You become more engaged with others. Music kindles spirit.

Sessions that send their spirits soaring.

Our sessions are designed for fun. Songs can get people in their elements. So our sessions have a mix of songs—familiar songs they can sing along, songs with encouraging messages, songs they can act out and sing. The kind of songs where they can identify how they are feeling in that moment. So that they can sing along and express that feeling. Then, music connects hearts and uplifts spirits

Let’s make songs their destination.
