JULY 5th With Francis Wyatt
Music Therapy at SPROUTS!
Select SPROUTS! students spent a month working with Susan Gardstrom and Liz Crombie, Music Therapists from University of Dayton. Music therapy is a systematic process of intervention wherein a therapist helps the client to promote health - physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual - using a variety of music experiences and the relationship that develops between the therapist and the client.
The children in the SPROUTS music therapy program have a range of learning and emotional difficulties. Experiences in music listening, singing, playing instruments, and moving to music can help these young people become better listeners, extend their attention span, improve physical coordination, increase confidence, and develop appropriate social skills through collaborative music-making.
