ABOUT US
About the founder
Adam Christoferson’s Musical Intervention™ is a beacon for social change, harnessing music’s healing power. With a BS in Recreation and Leisure Studies, he’s a keynote speaker at the European Conference on Mental Health and TEDx New Haven. His 20+ years guiding music groups globally earned acclaim, but his impact extends beyond recognition.
Musical Intervention Studios offers a haven for disadvantaged communities, aiding substance abuse recovery and societal reintegration. Embracing diversity, it cultivates a melting pot of cultural exchange, fostering personal growth and unity. Free access ensures inclusivity, creating an environment where music becomes a universal language healing minds and connecting hearts.
Backed by the State of Connecticut’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Yale University partnerships and grants like the National Institute of Health’s Sound Health Initiative Grant, research is supporting Musical Intervention’s techniques on serious mental illness and addiction. Their New Haven headquarters (Musical Intervention Studios), at 23 Temple Street, serves as a creative hub for all seeking solace and holistic well-being through the transformative force of music and community.

ITS ABOUT VALUES...
Contribution
We believe that every single person has something unique and valuable to contribute to others and that it is in this act of service that we find our highest calling and can have a lasting impact on our communities and world
Empathy
Defined as “the ability to share someone else’s feelings, experiences and emotions by imagining what it would be like to be in that person’s situation,” we believe that the key to effectively tackling the biggest challenges we face on an individual, interpersonal, community, and global level is to intentionally learn and practice the lost Art of empathy.
Dignity
We believe that every person is worthy of honor, love and connection with no other conditions but that they are human beings with inherent dignity..
Self-expression
We believe that creating art helps fulfill the human need to be seen and understood and serves as a starting point for people to bring their highest aspirations for themselves and their lives into real time and space.
Given a context of freedom to try and fail, with the expectation of creating original content, people will not only hone their ability to say, “this is who i am and this is what is important to me”, but they may find it easier to translate that into action in other parts of their lives.
Quality
We Strive for the highest level of quality in everything we do, from how we treat people and our partner organizations, to how we approach songwriting, music production, live performances and of course, the quality of the music itself.
