Music That Heals, Hope That Grows

Our music therapy program includes a variety of creative activities designed to help teens express themselves and find therapeutic benefits through music:

• Listening and Emotional Processing
  Teens are guided to listen to different types of music that reflect or influence their emotional state. This helps them process feelings, reduce stress, and connect with emotions in a supportive environment.

• Songwriting and Lyric Exploration
  Writing lyrics and composing songs give teens a voice for expressing their thoughts and experiences. This activity promotes self-reflection, enhances creativity, and provides a powerful emotional outlet.

• Instrument Play and Rhythm Exercises
  Teens engage in playing instruments or exploring rhythm exercises to channel energy, release tension, and experience the therapeutic effects of creating sound. No prior musical experience is required.

• Guided Music Improvisation
  Improvisational exercises allow teens to experiment with sound and create music spontaneously. This activity fosters creativity, builds confidence, and helps teens feel more in control of their emotions.

• Music and Mindfulness Techniques
  Music therapy includes mindfulness practices, such as focusing on the sound and rhythm of music, which helps teens relax, reduce anxiety, and become more present.
