Music as a Therapeutic Medium

Music is present in our lives from birth, making it a perfect medium through which to connect with individuals with developmental deficits. Music acts as an engaging, novel stimulus that is able to capture attention in order to accomplish goal-oriented tasks. 

The Neuroscience Behind the Music

Music is processed globally, across both hemispheres of the brain, making it useful in rewiring and strengthening neural circuitry for non-musical functions, such as movement or speech.

Client-Benefitted Treatment

Music Therapy provides a framework for evidenced-based, research backed and client-centered treatment. Client-benefitted therapeutic interventions to enhance and nurture positive growth are core attributes of music therapy treatment.
