Teletherapy
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Musical Bridges is providing virtual music therapy, music lessons, music enrichment, and camps for all ages and abilities.
Making improvement doesn’t have to be out reach just because you don’t live in Nashville. We offer virtual services across the globe.
If no materials are available to you, a sanitized instrument pack can be dropped off locally or shipped to your home.
Telehealth has proven, by research, to be very effective in child development and treatment. Our team has brainstormed many creative ways that we can keep the music going over video conferencing.
An online session may include:
Songs that incorporate picture cards for verbal imitation & engagement

Auditory discrimination interactive games
Songwriting
Movement and hand motions songs
Musical scavenger hunts and interactive games that utilize the natural environment
