My Project

My students are spread across 5 classes. We explore music together and create an environment that is welcoming to all. This is a new program at my school available to all students in the SPED program.

Music therapy provides creative experiences, sensory exploration, social interaction, expressive movement, emotional connection, and an outlet for stress relief.

We will be doing drumming experiences, singing, world music exploration, music listening and all sorts of therapeutic music experiences with these instruments.

Having access to a variety of instruments makes a music therapy program vibrant and novel each week for my students!
