MUSIC THERAPY

The Castle Conservatory has been home to a group of young persons who’ve benefitted from the Castle’s Music Therapy program, a program created with the help of a substantial grant from EcoLab!! Music educators at the Castle spend quality time with victims of traumatic experiences, exploring all facets of music, including instrumental lessons, vocal performance coaching and songwriting. This interaction has proven to be effective in terms of refocusing these young unfortunates. Hear what people are saying about this extraordinary opportunity:

 

“The Castle has been very helpful to my clients. Through music and art, they have found a much needed outlet to express their feelings and emotions. I am grateful for the help and support provided by The Youth Unite!”-Amanda Isunza, Counsellor with the Beloit Sexual Assault Recovery Program

 

“The music therapy program has been a blessing for my children! They look forward every week to going to the Castle. It has made our lives better.”-Mother of therapy students
