Music Lessons are a very good way for Special Needs individuals to create and enrich their own lives. Usually, the best place to start is to find the right environment. Obviously the owners, David and Helene Herman who are also the teachers at Piano Plus knew this was an important factor. Typically one must feel comfortable in order to learn.

With this in mind, the Hermans realized that their apartment would be the best place to conduct Music Lessons. In effect, this warm cozy Manhattan setting has served its purpose successfully. As there is a separate room for lessons and in the meantime whoever is waiting can sit on the couch.

Notably, The Hermans both have master’s degrees in Music Therapy. For this reason, they are able to provide a multi-sensory approach to musical instruction.

Music therapy has nothing but benefits for the Special Needs Community. “Where Words Fail Music Speaks ” is true on so many levels. For instance how many times has a song conveyed how you feel about your crush? What about those days when you are feeling sad and can’t explain it? Music comes instantly to the rescue. Also like some of you, I have friends that are unable to use words at all. Similarly, music therapy provides a way to share how they are feeling too.

Presently here in Manhattan, there is a place called the Nordoff-Robbins Music Center for Music Therapy at New York University. New York University? Yes. Wouldn’t that be cool to say “gotta run, I have to get to NYU”? Couple that with the fact that you would be working with specialized instructors. You have got yourself an exciting new activity. Furthermore, they work with individuals with all sorts of disabilities. So no worries there. Luckily for us , the center prides itself on offering music resources to all. Because they been doing this a while, they have a lot of expertise. To demonstrate, research is even conducted on-site to show how beneficial music can be as a therapy tool.
