Many children with special needs show interest in learning an instrument, but are not able to benefit from traditional music lessons. Our staff specialize in adapting instructional methods based on the child’s individual strengths and learning style. Adaptations may include the following:

• Color-coding for children who are not able to read traditional music notation
• Use of schedules, scripts, and visual aids to structure the session and reduce frustration
• Focus on the child's preferred songs and musical genres
• Use of musical exploration and improvisation to increase creativity

Lessons can incorporate keyboard, voice, basic percussion, songwriting, music recording, movement, and guitar. Students also have a chance to showcase their talents at our annual music recital.
