Education

The school must provide a room free from distractions for the therapist to work in. If your school has instruments the therapist will use these if not the therapist will provide their own. If you do not have a piano or a suitable keyboard please get in touch and we can look into sourcing one. 

Cost depends on the provision required. We pride ourselves on our excellent value for money. Ace prices are updated regularly and are in line with recommended pay scales for music therapists. Please get in touch to find out more. 

Funding can be sought for music therapy and this is something we can assist with. In addition some schools use Pupil Premium to fund music therapy sessions or alternatively sessions may be funded by the local council if music therapy is in a child’s Education Health Care Plan (EHCP). 

Progress in assessed by the therapist. We use a detailed assessment schedule and therapists keep session notes after each session to document sessions and reflect on progress. Therapists write regular reports and also attend annual review meetings as well. We also assess progress through feedback forms given to the client or staff member present in the session. 

The music therapist will undertake both individual and group music therapy sessions. They will work collaboratively with staff to help students meet their targets. Music therapists will also take part in musical events and may even lead events such as concerts/productions. Our music therapists are also available to offer staff training upon request.
