This study is again looking at the use of music and music therapy experiences in navigating depression. The researchers will provide 11 sessions of music therapy and half will be followed by recitals at the Third Street School Music Settlement where the kids enrolled in our study will observe and interact with the performers and discuss and reflect on anxiety and performance and how sharing personal creativity affects them intra and interpersonally.

Primary outcome measures
Conor-Davidson Resilience Scale
Time frame: end of 6 months
The Conor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10-item (Conor \& Davidson, 2003, 2007) or CD-RISC10 is scale measuring the resilience of an individual. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (not true at all) to 4 (True nearly all the time) with scoring from 0 to 40. The higher an individual scores, the greater their resilience. The lower an individual scores, the lower the individual's resilience.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
