The Grow Music clinic is open! So excited to be seeing clients again. (You can't see it, but my smile is HUGE underneath the mask.)

Stay safe, everyone! Hopefully we'll be seeing each other again soon. 💚

In light of yesterday's Dutchess County state of emergency declaration and the closure of local schools, Grow Music will be cancelling all sessions for the next two weeks (3/15/2020 through 3/29/2020). It is my responsibility to protect the families that receive music therapy from Grow Music. This includes children and family members with compromised immune systems and other factors that makes them more vulnerable to COVID-19. My own family is also dealing with increased risk factors. By engaging in temporary social distancing, we will help to protect our entire community.
I will reevaluate and make a decision about sessions for the week of 3/30/2020 as we get closer to that date. Please stay tuned for more information. I will be missing everyone during these weeks! I hope that your family stays healthy and that we will be back together soon.

Hoping that you enjoyed your holiday as much as we did. Happy Thanksgiving!

Back-to-school is an exciting time! It also comes with new challenges and anxiety, both for children themselves and for parents. How is your child settling into the school routine? Grow Music is accepting new clients and is proud to support children of all abilities. Let's work together to make this your child's most successful school year so far. 😃

This article about a music therapy program in Seattle is wonderful! Read to find out more about how music therapy can help support children who have experienced trauma.

A ‘Hello’ song, a ‘Goodbye’ song: In a Seattle classroom, music helps toddlers struggling to connect “For kids who have chaos and unpredictability in their lives, music has structure, music has predictability,” says Alyssa Monas, a music therapist at Childhaven, one of 12 nonprofits helped this holiday season by reader donations to The Seattle Times Fund For The Needy.

We're back! Tina's maternity leave is over and everyone (including baby Ada) is very excited!
