Who Should Attend?
Music Therapy is relevant to people of all ages. The average age of a person in our music therapy programs is between 18 and 40 years old depending on the type of program, the patient’s diagnosis, and the individual needs of each patient.
People who are struggling emotionally, have weak social skills, impaired cognitive functioning, severe or mild anxiety, and physical problems will highly benefit from music therapy.
Moreover, music therapy programs are also suitable for institutions like nursing homes, hospices, and hospitals where patients need assistance in overcoming a disability or chronic conditions. People with (or at risk for) dementia are ideal candidates for music therapy because it helps improve cognitive functioning by stimulating brain areas associated with memory and language.

How Does Music Therapy Assist People
Who are emotionally struggling?
Music therapy can help improve the life satisfaction of patients. It is a form of listening that is free and natural for the patient to complete, and it doesn’t involve any opinions or judgments. Regardless of their severity, all patients benefit from music therapy sessions. Through this form of treatment, patients can better cope with stressful situations and learn to tap into their own inner resources. This form of therapy is known to work by enhancing the importance of social relationships while reducing pain, anxiety and fear.
Music therapy can help improve concentration skills and memory recall for patients. It can also improve their ability to communicate through speech or body language. Through the use of music, patients are allowed to explore their own language and music. Their experiences through this form of therapy can help them make sense of confusing issues or emotions in their lives.
Who are cognitively struggling?
Through the use of music therapy, individuals can learn to improve their moods. They can express themselves through music freely without the fear of being judged. It is a non-intrusive form of communication that allows the patient freedom to express their emotions and thoughts without penalties or judgments.
Who have physical problems?
Who want to improve creativity?
Music therapy can help improve movement skills and coordination for patients in a number of ways. Through this gentle way of communicating, patients are provided with a positive experience that keeps them motivated about completing a specific activity even if it is difficult for them to do so. Patients may also be given tools to learn how to do things like walk again following an injury or improve their quality of life by strengthening muscles that have atrophied over time.
