Beethoven missed something

ByClark Hodge December 4, 2018November 2, 2021

Ludwig von Beethoven once said: “Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.” We think he missed something.

What about the kids?

At Chase the Music, we too believe that music may strike fire and bring tears. More importantly, we bring smiles to children with music.

Joy, hope, strength and, love – that’s what music does for children battling critical conditions.

If were still here, I’m sure Beethoven would agree, and Chase the Music with us!

Destinee – Little Baby Jesus

ByClark Hodge February 10, 2019November 2, 2021

I first met Destinee at the Colorado Wheelchair Camp. They had called her to the front to receive an award. Destinee was taking longer than most to come forward.
