Early Beginnings in Music Therapy
Eve Montague
For special needs children, ages three to five. Led by a Board Certified Music Therapist, this small group music therapy class is an opportunity for children, with a caregiver present, to socialize within a structured music
setting. Children learn sharing play, taking turns, listening and responding to others. This music therapy session assists in the development of verbal communication, speech, and language skills. Music activities such as singing/vocalizing, movement, and instrument play are designed to be
success oriented and enjoyable. Music provides multi-sensory stimulation, and along with the inherent organizing, rhythmic component of music,
sensory-motor, perceptual-motor, and gross and fine motor skills can also be enhanced.
