SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Music Therapy Montclair, LLC offers a variety of school based threaputic services for children and young adults to support a wide range of developmental and social emotional goals.

Individual and group sessions use evidence based techniques to improve communication, enhance emotional expression and foster social development. By working together in music, students are offered opportunities to collaborate, release tension, get creative, and gain confidence and trust in themselves and others. 

Areas of exploration and development include:

• Listening

• Creative Expression

• Mindfullness

• Empathy

• Communication

• Soothing

• Self-Esteem

• Physical and Emotional Regulation

• Focus

• Collaboration

• Motor planning

• Vocal development

Through music improvisation, playing and singing of familiar songs, songwriting, music listening, and group discussion, students (and staff) can learn how to use music as a tool for processing and enhancing their relationships to themselves, each other, and the world around them,  

Our music therapists have experience in a variety of medical, psychiatric and educational settings and tailor group and individual sessions to meet the specific developmental, clinical, and emotional needs of our clients.

​

And while music therapy sessions are not "music classes" per se, they can be used to create a supportive educational and developmental environment for school based communities regardless of medical challenges or developmental/psychosocial needs.

​

No music experience necessary.
