Music Heals raises funds and awareness for music therapy and featured one of our clients in a video for the Music Heals Gala in 2023. 

“In only 3-4 sessions with a private music therapist at ET MUSIC THERAPY I can see a big difference in my autistic 4 year olds behaviours ~ So many positive changes. He’s more trusting & is excited to play a new instrument or musical game when he sees his music instructor weekly. His therapist is extremely intuitive, talented/creative & flexible as his instructor. She’s so aligned with him. Thank you so much Esther for this awesome music program for kids like my son! It is desperately needed in our communities!! If you have a child with ANY disabilities, this company is a must try!! We are so pleased to have ET MUSIC THERAPY in service for autistic kids, ADHD kids, aspergers kids….ANY child w/any special needs!!”

“With music, my son participates way sooner than in other environments, with increased focus and eye contact. He loves music and that tends to bring him out of his shell.”
— Kristy Hunt, Parent

This is a session excerpt demonstrating the importance of child preferred music in music therapy. Here, the client has searched for the piano chords, practiced with his therapist, and is now performing one of his favorite theme songs. Highly motivating!!!

We love working with all ages and abilities!

“Our first music session yesterday with was so wonderful. There was a little warming up period but those drums and accordions hooked him in. I can already tell that these sessions are not only about teaching kids how to play an instrument or about music, but it’s actually about using music as a language and a tool to help my son not only learn communication, cooperation, and motor skills. Also it just allows him to experience pure joy. So thank you for not only the exposure but the opportunity to help my son grow and flourish. This brought so much joy to our lives 💙Thanks so much
