Healing Through Guitars Austin

Ella Rafferty

Undergraduate Student at

The University of Texas at Austin

I founded the original "Healing Through Guitars" in 2016 in the San Francisco Bay Area and expanded to Austin in 2023 when I began my freshman year at The University of Texas at Austin.

I continued Healing Through Guitars in Austin because I love playing guitar and piano and spreading kindness through music. I enjoy performing fun and uplifting music at senior homes and for veterans and immunocompromised members in the community. To quote Mary Poppins, "A Spoon Full of Sugar" really helps the medicine go down. When I'm not studying, volunteering or learning new songs (I take requests!), I enjoy playing Club Tennis at The University of Texas at Austin.
