The main goal of our non-profit organization (NFPO) is to provide support for children, of all ages, who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) a neurodevelopment condition that affects how children interact, communicate, learn, and behave.
Several studies, have proven that listening to or playing music, enormously improves, not only the mood but enables them to gain great interest in playing and composing whether with or without instruments.
Our Foundation’s “Godfather” Max Steiner was a music composer for theatre productions, films soundtracks and concerts. In his journey through the world of Hollywood musicals, Steiner was regarded as one of the greatest film score composers in the history of cinema. He was one of the first composers who primarily wrote music for motion pictures, and as such, is referred to as “the father of film music.” He composed a veritable host of memorable scores classics such as Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Since You Went Away, Tomorrow Is Forever, just to name a few.
Max Steiner's "legendary" music was pirated and unlawfully utilized by all kind of entities, to include artists, radio, television, publishers, movie theaters and media outlets throughout the world who have fraudulently benefited, and to this date, from Steiner's ingenuity. In an effort to terminate these illegal practices, our lawyers are generously volunteering their time to fight the illegitimate use and work towards the recouping of these lost or forgotten (small or large) amounts of moneys to be appropriately directed towards our Charitable Foundation.
All Max’s Music-related moneys from operas, songs, “concerts and live performances” musical compositions, such as neglected, deviated and / or un-collected royalties from synchronized (sync-) music soundtracks from radio, records’ sales, live concerts, cinema theaters, online downloads, print and publishing, videos, movies, television, cable productions are sometimes simply forgotten or too expensive to be legally challenged.
Our foundation shall provide: Facility, Musical instruments, Counselors, Professional Therapists and Special Needs Teachers. Through our foundation, these children will have access to get initiated into Music Education, performance(s) and playing, to include the most challenging of all: Music Reading and Writing.
