"Our favorite music therapist, Gabby, from Boise Music Therapy Company was able to return to Aspen Lane and sing with our residents! It’s been over a year since we’ve been able to have her in the community and we are so grateful to have her back! Lots of singing, smiling, and dancing happening today at Aspen Valley!" - May 17, 2021

"Samantha is a warm, enthusiastic instructor. I’ve participated in her drum circles where I enjoyed the freedom to express through music without judgment and to try a variety of instruments. It’s fascinating to experience the power and energy in each group and notice how each experience is unique. I recommend you give her a try and see what Boise Music Therapy can do for you and your family."

An 8-year-old client came to me crying because all of his classmates had a best friend, except him. We created a plan to help him develop the emotional intelligence and social skills needed to be confident in finding friends. We did this using music therapy interventions. For example, we would focus on one emotion, happy, and ask him to play music that sounded happy. It took lots of work to help him gain confidence, but with lots of encouragement, he learned how to read emotions in other people and gain needed social skills. The best day was when he came to therapy and excitedly shared that he had made a friend in his class. I cried that day.
★★★★★
A client with a traumatic brain injury could not process spoken questions. When the questions were sang to him he could process and answer them. I worked with a speech therapist and the client to help him learn to answer spoken questions. First we used picture cards and music to help him and then slowly backed off the music and cards until he could answer questions that were spoken to him.
