Co-Curricular School-Based Programs

Collaboration with the teachers and school-based personnel

Music Therapy programs are designed to support students' developmental skills — including communication, motor, cognitive, and social-emotional abilities.

Our board-certified music therapist collaborates with teachers and school staff to tailor activities like singing, instrument play, and movement to meet the class's specific needs, such as improving attention, impulse control, or social interaction.

Extracurricular School-Based Programs

For families and educators seeking music therapy beyond the classroom

Available after school, these groups focus on social skills and emotional expression, adapting to children’s developmental levels. Parents can register their children based on age and interest.
