What is the Difference Between Music Therapy and Music Lessons?
Music has the power to move us, inspire us, and even heal us. But have you ever wondered about the difference between music therapy and music lessons?
Happy Autism Acceptance Month!
At Wildwood, we strive to offer neurodiversity affirming services. Neurodiversity-affirming music therapy practices recognize and celebrate the diverse ways in which individuals experience and engage with music and with the world around them in general. These practices are person-centered, acknowledging the unique strengths, preferences, and sensory profiles of each individual.
