Lety Castillo, MT-BC, NMT
Having started piano lessons at age 4, Lety knows first hand about the life-changing power of music. It wasn’t until beginning a career in Music Therapy that the benefits of music really became evident. Lety has seen clients feel connection, comfort, and equal opportunities thanks to the universal language of music. Now, Lety’s mission comes in facilitating an environment where other’s can thrive in a judgement free zone with a little support from music. Her goal is to provide more of these opportunities and share the power of music with our Orange County community through accessible services, events, and free community sessions.

Testimonials
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!
