Developmental Music Classes

Our adult-child music classes focus on creating a positive bond between caregiver and child and supporting children in their physical, social, communication, and cognitive development.  Each class is led by a Board-Certified Music Therapist, who is able to structure classes in the moment to support students' immediate needs and provide an environment in which children can participate to their fullest potential.  Classes are filled with live music, movement, and fun interaction in our large space.  Children of all abilities are always welcome!

The Difference Between Music Therapy and Music Lessons

We at Prospect Music Therapy, LLC feel that it is important to state the difference between music therapy and music lessons.  Music therapy focuses on achieving non-musical goals through the use of music.  This can be social skills, cognitive skills, motor skills, along with a vast variety of other skills.  Music lessons focus on improving one's musical skills. While it is true that improving skills both musical and non-musical can occur in both settings, music therapy sessions are specifically designed to focus on the non-musical goals based on the client/group of  clients involved in the session.  The board certified music therapist takes the time to assess, document, and create a treatment plan for their client(s) and continuously reassesses the progress towards the non-musical goals.  These goals are updated as the client progresses through their treatment.  Music lessons do not require this protocol as the sole focus is to improve musical skills.
