Individuals with physical, emotional, and cognitive difficulties find that music therapy opens new channels of communication and contact. Music as therapy brings joy, beauty, a smile and laughter as well as a calming and nurturing effect to some clients, while providing an outlet for frustrations for others. It helps to activate and enhance the memory and quality of life for elderly clients.

Music therapists work closely with and support the goals and objectives of psychologists, social workers, counselors, special education and speech, occupational and physical therapists. It is a creative, interactive, clinical, educational and rehabilitative treatment approach.

Music Therapy is an effective form of psychotherapy. It offers freedom of exploration and a new sense of self discovery as clients give sound and energy to emotions and issues that may be painful, confused or blocked. Each client is unique in terms of their psychological issues and special needs. Music therapy can reach clients that are resistant or relatively unresponsive to other treatment approaches.

Alan Wittenberg, Certified Music Therapist, provides individual and group sessions to clients of all ages at the Surry Music Therapy Center as well as schools, nursing homes, day and residential programs and hospitals throughout Maine. Alan also does conference presentations and training in Japan and Russia.

MUSIC touches us when words cannot. It is instinctive and intuitive in all of us, regardless of disability. It reflects who we are and helps us to realize who we can be.
