Music Therapy
What is Music Therapy??
Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence based use of music interventions to accomplish physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals of all ages. Through these musical interventions,the clients' abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in many areas such as: overall physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement, increasing people's motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing emotional support for clients and their families, and providing an outlet for expression of feelings.

PARENT TESTIMONALS
"Music therapy was the key that unlocked the door to my daughter’s speech. The technique of connecting my child’s passion for music with her desire to speak has broken down the walls of silence for our family. It started with one word, then two words, and now we are up to three words at a time. Words cannot possibly express the depth of my gratitude to my friend for paving the road with an introduction and to Miss Tamela and her amazing team for helping my child find her voice! Music therapy has been the best investment in my child’s success I have made to date.
With a heart of deep gratitude,
Julie K.
" As a parent of a child with special needs, I can say that I could see immediately the the difference in my child's general behavior outside the therapy sessions , not only improvements in his music abilities. He is more patient and pays more attention to everything. Music wise, he cannot wait to show us all the time how well he can sing using his guitar.
Thanks,
