The Music Therapy Inspired (Adapted Music Lessons) program is designed for students of all ages who may benefit from a more personalized and flexible approach to learning music. These lessons are ideal for students with developmental, behavioral, or learning differences—and they’re all about helping each student connect with music in a way that works best for them. Our adapted track was created in partnership with a board-certified music therapist, and our teaching team is trained in techniques that come from the field of music therapy. These techniques help us support focus, communication, and emotional expression through music.

Adapted Music Lessons are NOT Music Therapy services, but are taught either by a licensed, board certified Music Therapist, or a trained Music Educator. We do not diagnose or treat, - instead, we enrich lives by offering adapted music instruction through weekly music lessons.

This Program is offered at the Collierville Music Box location only, at this time.
