Group Sessions
Structured sessions that bring together individuals with shared goals, needs, or challenges to engage in therapeutic musical activities. They provide a supportive and creative space where participants can use music to address a range of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. Participants come together to collaborate, create, and communicate through music. The group dynamic can foster a sense of belonging, connection, and mutual support among members.
