Music Therapy can benefit the following populations and conditions:


children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly with mental health needs, developmental and learning disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease and other aging related conditions, substance abuse problems, brain injuries, physical disabilities, and acute and chronic pain.

Music Therapy Connections specializes in the treatment of children with a wide range of diagnoses and/or special needs.

With children, music therapy provides a unique variety of music experiences in an intentional and developmentally appropriate manner to effect changes in a child’s behavior and facilitate development of his/her communication, social/emotional, sensori-motor, and/or cognitive skills.

Music therapy enhances the quality of life. It involves relationships between a qualified therapist and child; between one child and another; between child and family; and between the music and the participants.

These relationships are structured and adapted through the elements of music to create a positive environment and set the occasion for successful growth.
