About NPower Services’ RockAbility
RockAbility is an adaptive music project for musicians with developmental disabilities integrated with local performing musicians. RockAbility welcomes musicians with disabilities into performance-based musical projects of varying genres. Participants work with local mentor musicians who already gig and record.
