Music Therapy is the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. Music therapy interventions can address a variety of healthcare & educational goals:
While traditional music lessons focus on mastering an instrument and developing technical skills, music therapy uses music as a tool to support personal health and wellness. Guided by a board-certified professional, therapy sessions prioritize non-musical goals—such as communication, emotional expression, and cognitive growth—rather than musical performance.
No musical ability or skill is required to benefit from music therapy. The music therapist will choose the musical experience based on “the individual’s preferences, circumstances and need for treatment, and the client or patient’s goals”(AMTA).
We do not bill insurance directly or participate in insurance networks. Clients pay the full tuition for all sessions directly to the school upon enrollment.
