Assessment
Our assessment process provides a comprehensive understanding of each client’s strengths, needs, and goals. It typically includes:
-
Initial meeting – to discuss background information, areas of concern, and goals for therapy.
-
Assessment sessions – to observe, interact, and gather information through structured and informal musical experiences.
-
Report and recommendations – a written summary outlining findings, therapy goals, and suggested next steps.
Home Programmes
Home programmes provide tailored musical activities and strategies for clients and families to continue therapeutic support between sessions or at home. Each programme is designed around the individual’s goals and abilities, offering practical ways to use music for communication, engagement, and wellbeing in everyday routines.
Regular check-ins and updates ensure the programme remains effective and responsive to progress, helping to maintain continuity and support meaningful outcomes beyond the therapy room.
Music Therapy
Following the assessment, music therapy sessions provide opportunities for growth, expression, and connection through music. Sessions are tailored to each individual’s goals and needs, using musical interaction to support communication, emotional wellbeing, motor skills, and overall development. Progress is reviewed regularly, and goals are adjusted as needed to ensure meaningful outcomes.
Service Development
Newtones Music Therapy offers service development for care homes, schools, and community organisations seeking to integrate music therapy into their setting. We provide flexible options for full-day or half-day services, tailored to the needs of each organisation and the individuals they support.
Through consultation, programme design, and ongoing collaboration, we help establish sustainable music therapy provision that enhances wellbeing, communication, and engagement across your community.
Neurologic Music Therapy® (NMT™)
Following the assessment, Neurologic Music Therapy® sessions use evidence-based musical techniques to support rehabilitation and functional improvement. Sessions are tailored to each individual’s therapeutic aim to enhance movement, speech, cognition, and emotional wellbeing. Progress is reviewed regularly, and goals are adjusted as needed to ensure meaningful outcomes in recovery and daily functioning.
