NURTURE GROUPS AND MUSIC THERAPY

Music Therapy can support nurture group psycho-social principles as it sets out to establish a safe, comfortable, warm and accepting environment where there is emphasis on pupils to explore feelings, encounter positive relationships with adults and with their friends.

Where nurture groups are in the process of being formed or even wish to introduce new elements, the Music Therapist can:

create a calm atmosphere
facilitate social skills
generate post-play discussion
address issues of bonding and attachment
Develop emotional regulation and resilience
support relaxation techniques
facilitate communication between adults and children

The aim is to increase pupils’ abilities to express themselves and therefore improve academic understanding and social awareness skills and promote better engagement with the curriculum.

If you are interested in discussing a music therapy service for your school further and would like more information, please feel free to contact MTW via our contact page. We are happy to visit school sites in order to discuss how we can provide a bespoke service suited to your particular school environment.

“Music allows us to meet clients at these moments where there are no words. It provides a language which the music therapist uses to allow each individual to process and move through even the most unbearable experiences.”

"As an MTW approved supervisor, I have witnessed MTW MTs encouraging, reflecting and reaching deeply held feelings that may not have otherwise ever have been expressed or heard. They then use these observations and information to determine the best way forward for a successful therapeutic process."

“(Music Therapy) gives all of the children a space to express themselves. We notice a change in them whilst in the sessions. We also notice that they come back to class calmer.”
