What value do music therapists provide to young families?

[Jessica Solimini]

I think music therapists provide a safe space for young families, especially in a group setting like Sprouting Melodies. As we have discussed, parents are not necessarily trained in the development of children and many are concerned with what is “normal” for their child. Having a music therapist there to allow them to see that their child is developing in an appropriate way for them, and offering guidance as to what to look for in terms of growth can be a source of reassurance.

Music Therapists who run Sprouting Melodies have an extensive background and training in childhood development, making them able to provide families with unique knowledge/perspective about their children. They provide a space for the families to bond, grow, and have fun with their child in a safe and comforting environment. They also provide in-the-moment music making, able to mend the music to fit the child’s needs.
