What are some of the proven benefits of Music Therapy?
​
Music therapy has been extensively researched and is recognized for its diverse benefits. Here are 5 examples of some of the many benefits of Music Therapy:-
​
-
Improved cognitive functioning: Music therapy can enhance cognitive skills such as attention, memory, and a wide range of executive functions. It's particularly beneficial for individuals with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
-
Enhanced communication skills: Music Therapy is ideal for communication disorders, including autism and aphasia. Music Therapy enables clients to improve verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
-
Stress reduction and relaxation: Engaging in Music Therapy has been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation, lowering cortisol levels and helping clients to feel more regulated, thereby maximising the other benefits of the session.
-
Pain management: Listening to or creating music in a therapeutic setting can lead to reduced perception of pain, especially in chronic pain conditions or during uncomfortable physio or medical procedures.
-
Improved motor skills: Music Therapy helps in the rehabilitation of motor skills in individuals recovering from strokes or traumatic brain injuries. Learning to play an instrument (hybrid therapeutic music lessons are sometimes used) is absolutely ideal for fine motor skills, coordination and sequencing. Rhythmic auditory stimulation can enhance the recovery of movement in physical therapy.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
Through her deeply empathetic understanding and profound knowledge of cognitive science, Serenna was immediately able to transform my thinking
I cannot think of a single time that my son didn't enjoy his Music Therapy session, even when he wasn't feeling well
I cannot recommend Serenna and her therapy skills highly enough and would recommend her to anyone who is struggling to move forward to where they want to be in life.
Serenna’s Music Therapy has made a big difference to the lives of the children she worked with at our school. Her clients have included those with low self-esteem & emotional challenges, those with ASD and those with profound & multiple learning difficulties. Through the provision of engaging and enriching experiences, Serenna worked therapeutically with children on an individual level and in small groups, building their confidence, their personal & social development and their speech & communication skills.
