Doing music therapy in groups has a different dimension than individual music therapy. Sometimes it is the peers that they are interacting with that bring things out of them. Recently while doing a music therapy group I saw an amazing interaction.
One of the participants is very withdrawn and one of the participants is very outgoing. It is really fun to see the outgoing person really draw something special out of the withdrawn person. This was really evident when we started to do some dancing to the music. I have not seen the withdrawn person dance, but when her peer came over and asked her to dance she stood up, had the biggest smile on her face and danced with him for the whole song.
Music therapy is available to help people in Idaho who struggle with autism, Alzheimer's, dementia, mental illness, cognitive impairment, hearing loss, movement disorders, memory loss, behavior challenges, chronic pain, stress, and communicative disorders. We also offer music therapy to help restore and strengthen family relationships. Whatever your barrier to wellness or learning, Music Makes Connections can help.
