Music Therapy
Music therapy provides an additional avenue to assist in your child’s development and success. Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship. Children are seen individually and in small groups focusing on social skills and interaction. Music therapy serves as a complement to other therapies and education in that it builds upon therapeutic goals and academics to increase social, emotional, cognitive, and communicative functioning.

Music Together®
Music Together® is a parent-child program facilitated by a Music Therapist. This program is open to all children, with or without disabilities, ages 0-5. This unique music program is research-based and internationally recognized as a quality program. The Music Together® curriculum is made up of 9 song collections, 3 per year, so parents and children can participate in the program for 3 years without repeating a song collection. The music itself is a mix of original songs and traditional tunes from the folk, jazz and world music traditions in a variety of tonalities and meters, allowing for a rich, quality music experience.
All Music Together® classes are inclusion and offer the opportunity to participate with a mix of ages and varying abilities. It is a joy to see how the children feed off of one another and their caregiver in class.
