Music Therapy

Picture
​Music Therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic practice that utilizes music as a tool to target non-musical goals. Board-Certified Music Therapists serve a wide and diverse population, from infants to the elderly, in a variety of settings such as hospitals, schools, psychiatric facilities, and nursing homes. The implementation of music as a vehicle to work on social, emotional, cognitive, sensory, and physical goals provides a rewarding, motivating, and fun experience for those involved. ​

At ChiME, children and their parents can benefit from Music Therapy in three different settings: group music therapy, individual music therapy, and music therapy instrument lessons. We also offer Music Therapy services for Chicago-area schools, organizations, and community groups. Through ChiME’s Music Therapy services students will be able to explore their own abilities, strengths, and relationships with both peers and adults in a fun, motivating, and non-threatening environment. Music Therapy sessions will provide an atmosphere in which children can grow to their potential through activities of play, music, and positive social interactions— all designed to optimize their success.
