Our Story

Founded in 2006, Rocky Mountain Music Therapy has been dedicated to finding ways to use music to connect kids and adults with the world around them. Whoever you, or your children are, they can benefit from, learn from, and be empowered by music therapy.

Music connects many parts of our brains to one another and enhances learning on a myriad of levels.  Brain pathways are constantly evolving, as the neurons that “wire together, fire together.”  We employ research-based music therapy techniques to assist in the development of new neurological pathways.

For example, rhyming and alliteration, which are major components of musical structure, are both precursors to reading.  The centers for music are all over our brains, including the parts that contain memory, mathematical sequential concepts, speech, social cues, balance and sensory regulation. Hence, using music we are able to activate those parts of the brain to help achieve non-musical goals.

What is music therapy?

The American Music Therapy Association describes music therapy as:

Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.

Music Therapy looks as different as the individuals it serves.  Whatever goal you have, there is a music therapy technique that will facilitate it!
