Creating lasting change in the lives of people of all abilities through music.

Note-Able Music Therapy Services addresses physical, social, and mental health needs in our community by offering a range of adaptive music, music therapy, and neurologic music therapy services.

  • Music therapy is the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.*

  • Music therapists work with people of all ages with intellectual disabilities, sensory impairments, autism, traumatic brain injuries, dementia, mental health and addiction issues, neurological disorders, and physical disabilities. Music therapists also work with hospice patients, veterans, at-risk youth, medically fragile individuals, and more.

  • Music therapists facilitate musical experiences for groups and individuals. These can include songwriting, instrument play, improvisation, singing, and dancing. While these activities may seem purely musical and recreational in nature, music therapists focus on goals such as social connection, self-confidence, communication, sensorimotor rehabilitation, speech, and relaxation. These skills can then translate into daily life.

News & Notes
August 2025 Newsletter Highlights

Hello -

August is International Peace Month, a time to remember the importance of global unity for a peaceful world. It started in 1926 after World War I, when 4,000 pacifists from 30 countries met to find ways to stop future wars. Despite their efforts, many of their ideas have been ignored over the past century. Instead, greed and the hunger for power have grown, causing more inequality, injustice, and oppression around the world.

Rather than just focusing on problems, we should think about what we can do daily to build an inclusive, equitable, and peaceful society. This includes connecting with neighbors, volunteering, supporting local businesses, and standing with people facing injustice, like those with disabilities.

True peace means freedom and justice for everyone. Though this goal may seem idealistic, small actions by many people can help create a better future. By supporting each other and working for justice every day, we can all help the world be more peaceful and just in the years to come.
