One (1) Music Therapy Session to support creativity, expression and connection

With Jon Samson of CoCreative Music

What is music therapy?

While music is renowned as the "universal language," its therapeutic potential is equally as versatile.  Music therapy is the clinical application of music to address the therapeutic goals and objectives of a client.  For example, if one needed to work on fine motor skills, piano playing and the use of mallets would allow for such in a fun and rewarding manner. The dynamics of music - fast, slow, loud, quiet, high, low, short, long, and everything in between - these are all parallel to emotion and movement.  Imagine someone who is bound in a wheel chair... or who can't express themselves verbally... how else would they be able to experience or communicate these facets of life so directly?  Music bypasses the "thinking" process, and speaks straight to and from the heart.  Music is a symbolic language - a microcosm of the world at large.  How a person functions within a music structure is directly related to larger areas of life.

Jon Samson MA MTBC, holds a Masters Degree in Music Therapy from New York University and a Bachelors of Arts in music composition from SUNY Purchase.
