Music Therapy Services for Children
-
Self-Expression
Engaging in Music Therapy sessions tailored to your child can promote both verbal and non-verbal expression. Children in Music Therapy benefit from opportunities for autonomy, choice, and engaging fully in their creativity with no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ ways to do it.
-
Social Connection
Children with goals for socialization skills benefit from Music Therapy interventions to encourage turn-taking, impulse control, collaboration, and musical reciprocity. Making music with others is a highly social activity that can be tailored to meet unique social goals.
-
Adapted Lessons
Music Therapists can also pair a child’s goals within a music lesson environment. Adapted lessons are tailored to the child’s unique needs. Music Therapists can address a wide variety of goals in a structured music lesson style setting. Beth currently offers adapted lessons for singing, ukulele, and guitar.

Everything Else
