Music Therapy

What is music therapy?

Music therapy is music in the service of care: certified music therapists use sounds, rhythms, voice and movement to support development, health and well-being in a structured and secure therapeutic relationship.

Through musical play and connection, children can explore emotions, build new skills, and find another way to express themselves when words are not enough.

​

Who is it for?

Music therapy is especially supportive for children on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, or with DYS profiles such as dyslexia or dyspraxia.
It also helps children experiencing sensory challenges, anxiety, hypersensitivity, hyperactivity, or relational, emotional and behavioural difficulties at home or at school.

​​

How a session unfolds...

In a playful and nurturing environment, your child explores music through free improvisation, rhythmic and sensory games, voice, movement and listening to various instruments (percussion, xylophones, melodic instruments).

Each session follows a clear progression with an intention for the day, adapted activities and an integration time at the end of the session.

Regular contact is maintained with families and educators so that what is experienced in music therapy can be supported and reinforced both at home and in the classroom.

Benefits to expect:

Session after session, many children learn to calm more quickly and experience more stable emotional regulation.
Self‑confidence, motivation, social skills and communication are gently strengthened, while cognitive and sensory stimulation is carefully adapted to each child’s profile.
Over time, this can mean less anxiety, fewer challenging behaviours, and a child who feels more able to participate, connect and thrive.

 

What difference does it make at school?

Simple sound routines facilitate attention, transitions, and cooperation in everyday life.

• Attention and regulation: rapid refocusing, audible breathing, smooth transitions.

• Communication and socialization: expressing emotions, waiting one's turn, cooperating with ease.

• Inclusion and trust: valuing everyone, reducing anxiety, daring to participate, strengthening class cohesion.

 

 

 

Testimony
"Simple routines that transform the classroom atmosphere in 3 minutes." — First grade teacher, Yvelines

 

My specialized approach

Specializing in supporting children with learning difficulties, I combine active methods (improvisation, percussion, rhythmic games, singing) and targeted listening time for visible effects in the classroom and at home.
The objectives are co-constructed with the teaching team and the family, with simple monitoring indicators and concrete feedback at each cycle.

 

Intervention formats

• Whole class: attention rituals and sound breathing to start, refocus or close a learning session.

• Small groups: expression, socialization, self-regulation — ideal for profiles with learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD.

• Individual: personalized objectives — communication, regulation, motor skills, confidence.

 

 

 

Expected results

Better concentration, faster calming, easier communication, confident participation, creating a more serene classroom.
