 Music activates, inspires, and stimulates emotional expression. Music relaxes, calms the nervous system and is helpful in restoring internal balance. Music connects us to ourselves and to others. Music is life affirming.
The developmental, emotional, psychological and social needs of children and adults are addressed through active music-making in a relationship with a music therapist. The Conservatory offers the services of master’s degree level,
certified music therapists with New York State creative arts licenses.
These professionals are trained multi-instrumentalists with specialties that
include psychology, special education and other related fields.
