"Music therapy has been integral in ensuring our child's quality of life and has helped her gain skills that we thought might not be possible. We are very thankful for her therapist and the service she provides."
Therapist Led Lessons
Therapist Led Music Lessons (formerly known as "adaptive lessons") are designed to help students of all ages with various disabilities to learn musical skills on guitar, piano, voice, or drums. Some students may need the additional support provided by a music therapist in order to experience success in music lessons. This differs from music therapy, as the focus of lessons is on building musical skills instead addressing non-musical goals.
Therapist-led music lessons can also enable students to “graduate” into traditional music lessons as they learn and practice skills needed to work with non-therapist music teachers.
Therapist led lessons are also available remotely from anywhere with an internet connection!

We are deeply proud of our music therapists - their commitment to enriching lives through participation in music has had a positive impact on so many people over the years.
