WKYC Channel 3 - Heart Strings

In Hearts for Music, there are no wrong notes. And despite being touched by different struggles, these musicians are in harmony. "To be able to give them something that can combine all of them under one roof is, for me, the most gratifying thing I've done so far in my life," Hearts for Music president and founder Kitrael Chin says. Kitrael is the gentle leader of this inclusive outlet, and he knows how important that message is given his own struggles with hearing and ADHD. When we first met him back in 2019, his goal was to change the perception of people with special needs. "For me, I think the biggest accomplishment is seeing disabilities transformed into abilities, because that's the motto for Hearts for Music," Kitrael told us a few years ago. Today, that motto remains the same. "I've met adults with disabilities that I've worked with for 20 years," he remarked. "The wonderful thing that you notice is that they don't change. Their innocence stays the same. It grows."
