Music moves, enchants and heals. It can alter the heartbeat and breathing to relax or energize. It can be experienced and enjoyed by all people regardless of age, music ability or intellect. As such music is a powerful and versatile tool for use with people with special needs and can be used to help improve:

  • Listening
  • Memory
  • Concentration
  • Coordination
  • Spatial awareness
  • Self-esteem
  • Relaxation
  • Social skills
  • Fine and gross motor skills
