Adaptive Lessons

Adaptive Lessons are often ideal for:

  • Children and Adults with special developmental or learning needs.

  • Individuals with physical or neurologic injuries or impairments, including stroke recovery or mobility challenges.

Instruments & Techniques

  • Instrument Play

    From drums and percussion to piano and guitar, we use accessible instruments to encourage participation and expression.

  • Pace and Structure

    Lessons are adjusted to match the learner’s pace, ensuring a comfortable and engaging experience.

  • Guided Relaxation

  • Songwriting

    Crafting original songs to explore personal experiences or celebrate milestones.

  • Improvisation

    Creating spontaneous music together to enhance creativity and social interaction.

How It Works

Adaptive music lessons begin with an initial consultation to assess the student’s interests, abilities, and goals. Based on this assessment, our instructors design a personalized lesson plan incorporating functional adaptations tailored to the student’s needs.

Lessons may focus on:

  • Learning new instruments or techniques.

  • Re-building skills for those recovering from an injury.

  • Developing fine motor skills, coordination, or breath control.

  • Building confidence and reducing anxiety around learning.

Customized Sessions

We believe no two clients are the same, and our therapy reflects that. After a comprehensive intake session, your therapist will design a tailored plan that incorporates:

Flexible Approaches

Session content is adjusted over time to reflect evolving needs and progress.

Personal Preferences

incorporating your favorite songs, genres, or musical activities to ensure each session is meaningful and engaging.
