Neuro-Affirming Music Groups:
In our neuro-affirming environment, we recognize and honor the diverse needs and abilities of every child. Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where children can express themselves freely, develop essential skills through their strengths, and explore their creativity through music.
Through engaging musical experiences, children learn to
- identify and express their emotions
- interact and collaborate in their own way with peers
- develop self-confidence and self-awareness as they explore their unique creative abilities
- stimulate cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving
- self-regulate through movement

Since Jess (Angelman’s Syndrome) has been working with Lety, we’ve seen an outstanding increase in non-verbal communication, subvocalization, rhythm, and dexterity. Jessica absolutely loves working with Lety and always finishes her class with a huge smile. Lety bridges the gap of therapeutic work and play in a way that makes progress fun and engaging. I would highly recommend Lety (music therapy) for all ages and levels of capability.
Over the past few years, Lety has patiently taught me guitar as I navigated trying to manage lessons and practice with a busy family and business. I’ve appreciated not only her guitar wisdom and expertise, but the patience and guidance she has for a slow-moving adult learner. From teaching me the many elements of guitar to working with me on music theory understanding, I’ve gained so much from my time as her student.
Our family really appreciates the instruction Lety has given our child over the past 2 years. We love hearing Katylin improve and she loves playing her pieces. Lety has been patient with Katylin and encourages her to practice and keep working through her mistakes. We recommend Lety for anyone looking for piano lessons!
