Music for Children with Disabilities is focused on creating a positive social environment for your children to engage in music with peers. Combining adapted lessons and musical activities, your child will be able to express themselves and get creative musically. In these sessions, children will participate in singing, drumming, movement to music, and other activities using different instruments. Sessions focus on having fun with music while helping develop social skills in a casual music setting rather than traditional, formal lessons.
