  2. Connect with yourself, your child, and others through the language of music.

Research Modalities

Music Theory

Learn an instrument, and learn yourself.

Using Sound, Voice, and Vibration, we use this theory to break through old patterns of verbal communication and create new pathways for deeper, softer, and more effective connecting within and between all family members.

Mindfulness

Whether the presenting issue is Anxiety, ADHD, Social Inhibitions, sibling rivalry, or anything else… we begin and continue with a deep awareness of the breath, the self, and the present moment. This is carried through the entire program, deepening into the natural rhythm of individual and family life.

Developmental Psychology

Viewing the family through the Developmental Model, we move away from pathology and move in the direction of well-being and strengths. In locating the various developmental ‘gaps’ or ‘lags’ in different family members, we work to find holistic solutions that honor the full human being and the full family unit.

In case you are wondering…

  • The most common question to get asked when I apply music to therapy is this: ‘what if I’m not musical at all?’
    Fear not. By nature of being human, you have rhythm and music flowing through you at all times. In this program, we ‘connect’ with what is already there.
    You need not have any musical experience to make use, and good use, of this program.

  • For parents, the weekly classes will be focused on practicing basic therapeutic skills such as breath, focus, self-regulation, and inner dialogue work. In addition to this, we will work with different instruments each week to deepen your musical acumen and get in touch with how you can play with your children in more expansive ways. You teacher will offer clear and practical guidance and direction on how to do this.

    The children’s role is mostly to play, and to allow themselves to be silly with the instruments rather than to have to produce any specific kind of music. The weekly music sessions for children will develop a gentle framework for the exploration of their own musical language.

  • While the full-length program is designed to produce effects over time, you will start seeing results as soon as you start to look for them.
    So, if on Day 1 of the program you open yourself up to seeing changes, however small, the changes and shifts will quickly appear.
    In Week 1, we cover how to start looking for the shifts.

  • All sessions are virtual, from the comfort of your own home.

    It is recommended to be present for all live meetings.

    All sessions include a post-session email with relevant details that were covered in the class. You will get this email each week, so if there is a week you must miss, rest assured that you will have the basic details in your inbox.

  • The program is open to families of all kinds. Children, teens, and even emerging adults will do well at this program.

    The main agents of music and change are the parents, so as long as the parents are showing up and investing their effort, every child will connect and learn at their own pace and in their own way.

  • It is both!

    We use music as the vessel, the example, and the tool by which we implement basic therapeutic techniques that all families can benefit from.
