Group Sessions
Our group sessions bring together individuals with shared experiences and goals. From Autistic preschoolers to adults living with addiction, we provide a safe and welcoming space to connect and grow through music. Many of our groups are hosted at the Centre, while others are offered through partnerships with community organizations. If you’re interested in joining or starting a group, we’re here to help! You can check our available programs online or contact us directly to find the best fit for you.
What to expect
In music therapy sessions, you’ll explore personalized techniques tailored to your needs and goals. Your Certified Music Therapist may use music listening for relaxation, playing instruments to enhance focus, or creating music for self-expression. Each session offers a safe space to connect with yourself through music.
Whether you’re improvising, re-creating songs, or listening to melodies, these approaches are designed to help you heal, grow, and achieve your goals. No musical experience is required—just an openness to explore the power of music.
