Adapted Music Lessons

​

The purpose of adapted lessons are to meet the needs of neurodiverse students. Though not required, it is best practice for a Board Certified-Music Therapist, or a person who specializes in working with neurodiverse communities to provide lessons of this caliber.

Adapted lessons—often on piano—range from making student specific accommodations to traditional piano lessons, to more complex modifications. Adapted lessons can also look like a mix of musical games, and music exploration without the standard expectation of learning musical notation; and in some cases, not using the piano at all, or minimally at best.

As with all lessons at Muse Mantra, adapted lessons are tailored to each person’s individual interests, learning styles, needs, and goals.
