When Words Tie Us Down, Music Can Set Us Free!
“Music Therapy is the skillful use of music and musical elements by an accredited music therapist to promote, maintain, and restore mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Music has nonverbal, creative, structural, and emotional qualities. These are used in the therapeutic relationship to facilitate contact, self-awareness, learning, self-expression, communication, and personal development.”
Canadian Association for Music Therapy; May 6, 1994
Our Mission Statement: To provide professional Music Therapy services to individuals to enhance well being and contribute to personal growth and development.
“A Therapy that has as a goal the freeing and development of the individual within is more effective than one which merely aims to normalize”
Dr. Clive Robbins– co-founder of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy
“The world of pathology is immense, but the world of music is just as immense and can contain it all.”
Dr. Paul Nordoff- co-founder of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy
“The real function of art (music) as therapy is not to instruct but to inspire.”
Dr. Oliver Sacks– author & Neurologist
