The Allegro Music Therapy and Education Services team loves their clients and wants to help everyone during this trying and difficult time. The health and safety of our clients and staff are our first priority. We are going above and beyond what the CDC has recommended to keep our clients, staff, and instruments safe and clean. We are still actively having 1:1 sessions in person as well as some small groups. We are also pursuing the telehealth avenue. We are offering virtual lessons and sessions temporarily to continue connecting, playing and learning together. The lessons we are providing are for piano, guitar, voice, and ukulele. If you are interested in learning more about in person or virtual sessions and lessons, please contact us at allegromusictherapy@gmail.com.

Why Music?
Music stimulates more of the brain than any other single activity. It is a pervasive, natural activity occurring in all cultures and allowing for participation by even the most severely impaired individuals.
What is Music Therapy?
Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music intervention to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
"Positive outcomes through the power of music"
"I regard music therapy as a tool of great power in patients of neurological disorders - Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, because of its unique ability to organize or reorganize cerebral function when it has been damaged"
-Oliver Sacks, M.D.
"It's time to stop thinking of the drum as a musical instrument...start thinking of it as a unifying tool for every family, a wellness tool for every retiree, and an educational tool for every classroom"
-Remo Belli
