Music Therapy with AdolescenTS
We use music as an effective means of communication and aid in problem
solving to:
•
Build tangible and constructive outlets for emotions, thoughts and
energies
•
Develop coping skills regarding depression, stress, anxiety, academic
and peer pressure
The process focuses on building a therapeutic relationship, starting with
adolescents' strengths, creativity and spontaneity by:
•
Using voice coaching to help "to find and strengthen their unique voice"
and combine skill building with therapeutic goals
•
Writing and recording your own songs
•
Using musical improvisation and drumming to express emotions and
difficult thoughts/experiences before integrating it verbally
•
Beat-making, free-styling and use of technology
NO musical skills are required to participate in this process.
