Consultations 
 

I'm not a musician, can I still do music therapy?

Yes!!!

 

You do not need any formal music training to participate in music therapy. Sometimes people feel intimidated by music making if they've never played music before (and even if they have!). This is something I love working through with people in therapy, and the experience of discovering you can make music is so much fun for both of us!
