Music Therapy

Ron-Shulamit believes that every individual is entitled to equal opportunities in life. To this end, The Ron-Shulamit Conservatory has pioneered a program of music and movement therapy for children with a range of disabilities such as autism, Downs Syndrome, neuromuscular diseases, developmental delays, visual impairment, learning difficulties, and Post-Traumatic Syndrome (following terror attacks) . With the help of our professional music therapy staff, comprised of a music education supervisor, music therapists and a social worker, many of these special needs children are eventually mainstreamed into our regular music and movement classes. Music therapy is a potent tool for facilitating emotional expression, working through trauma, increasing attention span, improving co-ordination and ultimately enhancing self-esteem through a feeling of accomplishment. We never turn any child away from therapy, even if the family cannot afford tuition.
