How It Works

Adaptive music lessons begin with an initial consultation to assess the student’s interests, abilities, and goals. Based on this assessment, our instructors design a personalized lesson plan incorporating functional adaptations tailored to the student’s needs.

Lessons may focus on:

  • Learning new instruments or techniques.

  • Re-building skills for those recovering from an injury.

  • Developing fine motor skills, coordination, or breath control.

  • Building confidence and reducing anxiety around learning.

Customized Sessions

  • Flexible Approaches

    Session content is adjusted over time to reflect evolving needs and progress.

    After a comprehensive intake session, your therapist will design a tailored plan

  • Goal-Based Interventions

    Techniques chosen specifically to meet therapeutic goals, such as improving motor skills, enhancing emotional resilience, or building social connections.
