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 substance use disorder, 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.

A Note from our Executive Director: Celebrating Older Americans Month
May is Older Americans Month, and this year's theme — Champion Your Health — couldn't resonate more with the work we do at Note-Able Music Therapy Services! The theme centers on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. At NMTS, we've seen firsthand for over two decades what research continues to confirm: music interventions for older adults show positive effects across psychological well-being, cognitive functioning, quality of life, and overall well-being. This month, we're proud to honor the older adults in our community, celebrate the programs we've built together, and remind everyone that music is one of the most powerful tools we have for championing our health at every age. Read on to see what we have in store.
— Manal Toppozada, Executive Director
