Private 1:1 Music Therapy
Sessions are suitable for people who experience significant challenges in their lives, such as learning disabilities, Autism, mental health difficulties, life circumstances, dementia, or other physical or social difficulties.
Where do sessions take place?
At the client's home, school or care home. To achieve consistency and to maximise the benefits of music therapy, weekly sessions are advised.
What happens in a session?
Every session is different because each person is different! Music therapy can consist of musical improvisation, musical activity songs, instrumental learning, singing, writing songs, listening to music together and more.
What do I need?
An appropriate environment in your home/organisation where the music therapy session can consistently take place, preferably somewhere spacious and free from any sensory stimuli that may distract the person receiving music therapy from engaging in the session.
Brooke will bring a selection of instruments with her so you do not need anything but if you already have access to musical instruments of your own, then great!
Accessible Therapeutic Music Lessons
For those who want to learn a musical instrument or skill but for whom engaging with traditional ways of musical teaching might be challenging or inappropriate. Brooke can help you explore your passion for music as well as develop your musical skills.
Lessons are suitable for people who experience significant challenges in their lives, such as learning disabilities, Autism, mental health difficulties, life circumstances, dementia, or other physical or social difficulties.
Lessons can be delivered online via Zoom or face to face.
Music Therapy in Care Homes
For people living with dementia who currently reside at care and nursing homes.
Benefits of music for people living with dementia
Music therapy has been proven to decrease the neuropsychiatric symptoms people with dementia often experience such as anxiety, apathy, depression and social isolation. Engaging in active music-making can improve thinking, mood, behaviour and perception. In a group context, music-making can create a sense of community and help reduce social isolation by enabling and empowering people to relate and connect with those around them.
What happens in sessions?
In group music therapy for dementia, we would typically explore improvisation as a group using a variety of different musical styles and idioms as well as singing familiar songs and engaging in musical activities that are designed to activate and exercise cognitive functions in the brain.
How long do sessions last?
Typically 1 hour
