MORE ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Individual MT Services
Music Therapy Assessment
A music therapy assessment is conducted to determine if music therapy will be beneficial for the prospective client. Assessments consist of first talking with caregivers/staff and discussing possible goals for the client; the client and therapist actively participating in music experiences during two one on one sessions.
An assessment report will be sent to the responsible party within 1 week. If the client qualifies for services, scheduling will then take place.

Individual Music Therapy
Our services are individualized and tailored to all of our client's strengths and needs. Individual sessions are one-on-one sessions in which the therapist provides direct care to the client. Music therapy experiences are implemented to address measurable and data-based goals and objectives.
Individual sessions are offered in 30 and 45 minute increments, and are typically scheduled once per week, though sessions may be offered several times a week if appropriate.
Group Services
Group Music Therapy sessions are designed to bring individuals of all abilities and levels together in a structured, musical setting to develop and foster critical skills. Group sessions are developed to promote growth and development among the group by including a variety of musical experiences to target the group's specific needs.
​
Music therapy groups enrich the programming at private schools, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, group homes, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and developmental programs, and more. Group sessions are appropriate when several group members have similar needs, such as mental health and wellness or physical rehabilitation. Music therapy groups are also highly engaging and are great for socialization!

Music Lessons
Sonata Inc offers both group and individual piano lessons. People of all ages can benefit from music lessons. The instructors at Sonata Inc are dually trained both as music educators and music therapists, creating a safe and therapeutic environment that is beneficial when learning a musical instrument.
Adapted Music Lessons
Sonata Inc offers adapted piano lessons. Playing a musical instrument can foster creativity while developing fine-motor skills, discipline, leisure skills, and self-esteem. Those with intellectual and developmental disabilities can be provided the same opportunities as neurotypical individuals to learn, create, and perform music – and this can be made possible with instructional or physical adaptations.
