Adaptive Music Lessons

Chapel Hill School of the Musical Arts provides adaptive music lessons offered by Fonda Smith, a board certified music therapist.  Adaptive music lessons offer a creative and individualized approach of learning piano, voice, and other instruments for the student that may have special needs or has struggled to learn music in the more traditional manner.  Adaptive music lessons are offered to any age student and will be tailored to the needs of the student to reach musical goals, as well as non-musical goals.  The non-musical goals may include behavioral, social, and/or cognitive issues.  Call today to schedule a consultation and assessment to see if adaptive lessons will enhance your life!
