As we are practicing social distancing over the next few weeks, our April 4 music therapy class has been cancelled.  We hope you can join us on May 2!

Let's Make
Music Together!

Join us as we make music with our little ones. Learn how you can use music to positively impact early visual learning and developmental milestones for babies and toddlers who are blind or visually impaired.

Enjoy a music class with your baby or toddler led by board certified music therapist Amanda Bryant. Amanda has over 20 years of clinical experience working with children and families with visual impairments.

• Come prepared to play instruments, move, dance, finger-play, and interact with others in a fun music class!
• Learn about the many developmental milestones music addresses.
• Learn songs and music games you can use at home, (with siblings, grandparents, and others) in order to play and connect with your young child.
  

Music is a natural play environment for ALL children!

Please join other A Shared Vision families as we make music together! To reserve your spot, register below.

What is Neurologic
Music Therapy?

Neurologic Music Therapy is the use of evidence-based therapeutic music interventions to achieve non-musical goals.

Each small group session, led by Amanda Bryant, will be comprised of infants or toddlers who are accompanied by their parents or caregivers. Parents are taught and encouraged to use songs, rhythmic movement and instrument play in order to maximize their child’s vision and progress toward developmental milestones. Then, these lessons can be practiced at home. 

Therapy is play-based, non-threatening and emphasizes successful, cooperative learning in a creatively rich environment. And it’s fun!

“My daughter loves the singing and responds well to all the instruments – drums, bells, guitar, piano and more.  Amanda has taught us to play, sing and wait to see how the kids respond.  With my daughter having several development handicaps, including vision, music really helps her feel and see a wonderful and lively world,” explained one parent.
