Testimonials

About two years ago, our foster daughter came to us approximately 3 years behind in development, she was almost 6. We began Music Therapy a few weeks after her placement with us and watched her blossom. Her favorite part of the week was “Rock and Roll” with Ms. Megan. She learned to follow multistep directions, sequence events, retell stories and increased her motor skills during music therapy. After 15 months, we ended music therapy. Our little girl had gained 2.5 years (30 months!) of skills in 15 months. She blossomed with the tender loving care and skilled interventions music therapy provided her. We’re incredibly grateful to Ms. Megan for everything she did for her and our family.

What is Music Therapy?

Music Therapy is an established health care profession which provides clinical and 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 (AMTA, 2005). Through the use of music based strategies and interventions, music therapists work with individuals of all ages and abilities to master non-musical goals. Music therapy can address needs within the cognitive, emotional, physical, spiritual, sensory, and social domains.
