Meet Vincent — a sweet, music-loving boy whose family is part of our beloved JJMF community. Vincent loves singing, being silly, and going for walks. Like many of our community families, Vincent enjoys attending JJMF’s virtual music therapy sessions, led by a specially trained neurological music therapist who hosts an interactive session full of singing, dancing, and instrument playing.
Beyond just plain having fun—which is important in its own right—some additional benefits of music therapy include: building connections in the brain and stimulating cognitive function, promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension, building social and communication skills, and providing an outlet to express emotions.
Vincent’s mom recently shared her gratitude for this program, “We’ve really appreciated Music Therapy – Vincent has so much fun and it’s a nice time to relax and a moment to bond and connect with each other and other kids and families.”
