Why Music Therapy?

Music and art are essential to the human experience, but not everyone has the knowledge or resources to access the many benefits they provide. We believe everyone can benefit from (and should have access to) music therapy and creative arts wellness programs at any stage of life, and our mission is to use our collective knowledge to bridge this societal gap.

What the community is saying...

This is a center staffed by incredible, dedicated people that truly enjoy what they do... I can't say enough about this organization - they love our loved ones. Please check it out! You won't be disappointed. 

My son truly enjoys his time at SEC. It doesn't seem to matter if there is only one person in his class or five for six. He looks forward to his weekly sessions. Thank you for putting together a program for adults geared towards adults with disabilities!

The children and the staff all look forward to music with Rowan! They (Rowan) adapts easily to each group at HNS and recognizes children that have challenges or may require additional support. Rowan teaches a variety of fun songs to the children, works with percussion instruments (bells, shaky eggs, drums, sticks) utilizes props (parachute, stretch band, scarves) and rhythmic movement. Each child is actively involved during music with Rowan.

We absolutely love all of the activities Melanie does with our students. She instills confidence in them and increases their understanding & enjoyment of music. We are always thrilled with our sessions with Melanie!

So happy to know your wonderful team and so grateful for how much you have helped my son blossom!!! He sings so much now, we all can’t stop crying. We’re so happy.
