Approach

Every individual is unique and possesses a wide spectrum of interests, strengths, challenges, and capacities. MusicWorx staff have received specific training on the effects of music on our brains and body. They use this knowledge to develop a strong partnership between therapist and child to establish trust and build rapport – creating meaningful musical experiences.

Techniques

The music therapy experience emphasizes the interactive process rather than the performance. We use the following techniques to enhance these experiences.
  • Singing/vocalizations
  • Instrument play
  • Movement/dance
  • Music improvisation
  • Songwriting/composition
  • Music listening
  • Music technology exercises
  • Adapted instruction
  • Musical stories

Techniques

All clients receive an assessment and an individual treatment plan.

Research-based therapy to meet the academic, sensorimotor, emotional, social, communication, and development needs of each individual.

Adapted Music Lessons

Creative and innovative approaches to learning how to play an instrument incorporating visuals, color-coding, and technology.
