MUSIC SPARKS HEALTH
VIOLIN FOR WELLNESS

About
Components
Combining science with music is absolutely inspiring. I am opening doors to learning. This is the essence of Violin for Wellness, of which there are three components:
♫ Violin and Therapeutic Riding
♫ Transitions and Violin
♫ In-Home Butterfly Play
The Violin and Therapeutic Riding program is the founding program of Violin for Wellness and it was in the riding arena for disabilities that my passion for adding the violin to their therapeutic process was born. I play my violin in collaboration with physiotherapists and riding instructors by creating games, sounds, melodies, and rhythms. This range of musical tools triggers vocalization, stabilizes core emotions, works on balance and strength, flexibility, focus, social development and problem solving.
