MUSIC THERAPY FOR EARLY YEARS

Our Services In Action

MUSIC THERAPY FOR EARLY YEARS

Using a multi-sensory approach, music therapy can assess children in their early years’ settings to evaluate strengths and needs such as: communication, concentration and attention span; physical, sensory and cognitive skills; self-regulation of behaviour; sequencing and memory skills; awareness of others and levels of self-confidence, motivation and decision-making skills.

Providing services in nurseries, infant centres, individual and group parent-child groups, we can facilitate work between caregiver and child and/or families to support adoption, fostering, emergency looked after children care, and mothers with post-natal depression.

Music in early years has been used to successfully improve:

listening, attention and engagement skills
recall of information and auditory processing
overall wellbeing
relationships and connection between child and care-giver
a sense of play and the promotion of play at home
confidence in caregivers and the quality of their connection with the child

For further information and to find out how we can help contact us.

“Music allows us to meet clients at these moments where there are no words. It provides a language which the music therapist uses to allow each individual to process and move through even the most unbearable experiences.”

“(Music Therapy) gives all of the children a space to express themselves. We notice a change in them whilst in the sessions. We also notice that they come back to class calmer.”

"As an MTW approved supervisor, I have witnessed MTW MTs encouraging, reflecting and reaching deeply held feelings that may not have otherwise ever have been expressed or heard. They then use these observations and information to determine the best way forward for a successful therapeutic process."

“Due to music therapy... we have noticed that the school is a calmer place to be. We have also noticed that there has been an increase in turn-taking skills, participation and attention / concentration skills.”
