About Music4Life® Foundation
Our Mission and Mission
Imagine a world where mental health across all dimensions is prioritized, and all communities—especially the underserved—are empowered through innovative music-based solutions that inspire healing, learning, and transformative research.
We do this by advancing mental, emotional, spiritual, and behavioral well-being for marginalized communities through music therapy-informed programs and tools that educate, treat, and contribute to research.
Dedication
The Music4Life® Foundation was officially established on January 16, 2025, in honor of Helen Howarth, a beloved friend of Founder Judith Pinkerton, LPMT, MT-BC. The Foundation’s inception, coinciding with Helen’s passing in Anchorage, Alaska, reflects a deeper calling to advance healing through music. Judith’s decades of nonprofit leadership and music therapy expertise laid the groundwork for a unique mission-driven organization positioned to address the growing mental health crisis.
The Music4Life® Foundation responds to the increasing demand for accessible, holistic mental health solutions—particularly among marginalized and underserved communities. Recognizing the limitations faced by certified music therapists in scaling impact, Judith developed digitized, self-guided, music therapy-informed programs for mental health providers. These solutions are proven to support treatment outcomes, including measurable effects on medication usage (Pinkerton, 2024). Programs are offered online and on demand, including v2.0 development of the Key2MEE music app that provides customized prescriptive playlists for emotion regulation.
