Music has the power to change the life of individuals with a disability.
The Conservatory’s Music Therapy Institute (MTI) reaches over 2,000 students each year with a wide variety of disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, learning and developmental disabilities, acute and chronic medical conditions, and emotional and behavioural disorders.
As the largest music therapy provider in greater Westchester, MTI provides services onsite at the Conservatory and on an outreach basis with 30 community partners including public schools, special education programs, medical facilities, and social service agencies. Our caring music therapists use a variety of music techniques, including instrumental and vocal improvisation, singing, songwriting, and listening/moving to music, to positively impact the physical, cognitive, social and emotional development of participants.
