We are excited to start offering music therapy classes for infants and young children and their parents! These music therapy classes offer a clinically researched approach to the use of music in the hospital setting. Parents will learn the natural benefits of music to assist in daily self-care, communication, creative expression, and the social, emotional, and physical aspects of development for themselves and their child.
Babies who were born prematurely are welcome to attend. Preemies often need to get caught up on their developmental skills and these classes will help! Parents will learn how to appropriately work with their baby without overstimulating.
Benefits of classes:
- Promote parent-infant bond
- Cue soothing and self-calming behaviors
- Offer language input necessary for development
- Offer visual, auditory, and tactile touch necessary for development
- Social and emotional interaction and expression
- Motor movement - walking, crawling, dancing, fine and gross
- Communication - verbally and non-verbally
- Appropriate for preemies and children with special needs
Class times:
- 1pm Babies ages 0-6 months
- 2pm Babies ages 6 - 12 months
- 3pm Children ages 1-2 years
