How It Works

Group music therapy sessions are led by board-certified music therapists (MT-BCs) who specialize in fostering meaningful interactions within a group setting. Group sizes are intentionally limited to ensure optimal interaction and goal achievement.

Sessions can take place in various settings, including:

  • Schools: Supporting emotional regulation, social skills, teamwork, and creative self-expression.

  • Senior Living Communities: Encouraging reminiscence, cognitive stimulation, and joy through music.

  • Mental Health Organizations: Promoting the intentional use of music to manage anxiety, encourage emotional expression, build healthy coping strategies, and promote mindfulness.

  • Community Centers and Other Organizations: Meeting the unique needs of diverse populations.

    Group sessions are tailored to the collective goals of participants, with duration and frequency customized based on the needs of the group.
