Make your own kind of music!
Making our own kind of music is really what Music Therapy is about. Music provides a voice when for whatever reason a spoken one is unavailable or insufficient. When you engage in music therapy, a skilled trained music therapist uses music with you to open communication, and provides opportunities to develop creativity and other skills. You don't need to bring any prior experience of music making - we believe that what you need is there waiting for the therapist to nourish it.
Music therapy is evidence based particularly in the fields of dementia, autism, developmental delay, emotional regulation, anxiety - some of the typical reasons for referrals to music therapy.
At Capo Music Therapy, we offer music therapy services tailored for children, young people, and adults. Our sessions are client led which means we work at your pace to overcome challenges, foster growth and emotional wellbeing. We work in various settings including schools, colleges, and care homes.
Enriching Lives Through Music Therapy
What happens in a session?
We have a lot of fun! In a music therapy session we create a welcoming safe space and start with "Hello". Depending on the reason for referral we use a range of musical instruments like djembe drums, tambourines, keyboards, ukuleles to encourage expression and joint musical experiences. Through creative processes like this we can acknowledge unexpressed emotions, we can create opportunities to try out social skills or support the work of other interventions such as speech and language therapy.
