MUSIC TO GROW ON – A SHORT FILM by DANIELLE KEATON
“Music To Grow On has been amazing for my son! My child is very motivated by music and his music therapist is able to motivate him to demonstrate and practice skills that he avoids trying in other settings. He has made wonderful progress in multiple areas (fine motor-working on writing his name, gross motor-finally jumping after years of having this as a PT goal, speech, reading, and math) with the addition of music therapy.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet multiple therapists from Music To Grow On and they have all been highly skilled, warm, and engaging, very comfortable with and able to work with children of all abilities. I would definitely recommend Music To Grow On!”
“Music To Grow On has been a very welcoming addition to my son’s therapies. He learned skills through music, which helps him with memorization and new techniques for learning. He enjoys it and it keeps him engaged.”
“Receiving Music Therapy from Music To Grow On has been such an incredibly motivating and rewarding experience for our son. The unique techniques, exercises, and strategies Bessie uses with our son during Music Therapy sessions, has not only helped him focus better, but has enhanced his overall speech, language, and socialization skills! He loves the music and movement, hands-on activities and has so much fun while learning. It is the highlight of our week! Music Therapy has been such a blessing for our entire family!!”
“Bessie is amazing, not only helping her clients to make amazing progress by developing and implementing creative musical interventions but also by supporting them, recognizing their strengths, and advocating for their needs. She is beloved by clients and families alike!”
