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 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 Gift That Builds Access and Opportunity →
Construction is underway at NMTS! Thanks to a generous grant from the Cynthia Lake Charitable Trust, we’re transforming the front of our property to create a safer, more accessible, and more welcoming entrance for our community. Improvements include ADA-accessible pathways, a secure front area, and a redesigned circular driveway for smoother pick-up and drop-off.
