NMT for Healthy Aging Program
How it works
This 12-week program is designed to guide participants through different musical experiences to target functional skills such as movement and cognition in a fun and engaging way.
The therapist uses the group’s preferred music and personalized goals to develop exercises to support health. By the end of this program participants will have actionable skills to continue using in their day-to-day.
Sessions take place weekly for 60 minutes.
Participants can expect to move to music, write songs, play instruments, sing, and more.
You do not need to have musical experience to participate and get the full benefits of music therapy!
One of the biggest challenges the senior community faces is isolation. Lack of social connection can lead to increase risk of hospitalization, depression, decline in mental health and poor quality of life.
The NMT for Healthy Aging Program was born out of the growing need for enrichment spaces for seniors, that targets skills to maintain independence. This program is designed to target maintenance of functional skills, as well as provide a space for social connection, emotional expression, and enjoyment through music!
