Music as a Therapeutic Tool
Music therapy is not a music class, performance, or entertainment. No previous music knowledge, experience, or skill is required.
Our board-certified music therapists integrate services seamlessly into the school day to support students' functional goals, including those found in IEPs.
Instead of focusing on classical accuracy or learning musical skills, we promote growth and overall well-being through accessible music experiences.

Regulation + Flexibility
We center emotional and sensory regulation as the foundation for learning, communication, focus, and self-expression.
We recognize that at any moment, students may be experiencing sensory overload, changes in routine, emotional stress, or unmet basic needs. In these moments, learning can feel out of reach.
Our therapists are trained to recognize the many factors that impact a student’s experience and adjust their plan and approach in real time.
