Soul Symphonies
The Soul Symphonies program is designed to improve literacy, reading, aural (verbal) memory, spatial skills, self-regulation, physical health, as well as psychological wellbeing. Learning music in a group situation is consistently associated with advancements in comprehension, executive function, empathy, social inclusion, prosocial behaviour, and encourages disillusioned learners.
​
Our music intervention specialist will place students in age-appropriate groups, and provide them the opportunity to securely communicate their feelings vocally and nonverbally. This will help to improve their emotional regulation - especially for those who cannot verbalise their feelings due to developmental delays, neurodiversity, cognitive impairment, or other conditions.
​
These include:
-
reducing anxiety or stress
-
regulating moods and energy levels
-
increasing motivation
-
managing anger and frustration
-
improving physical speech function
-
increasing social communication skills
-
improving gross and fine motor function and control
-
increasing core executive functions
-
increasing memory and attention
