Pre-writing Skills with Music

Check out this article about a program that pairs pre-writing exercises with music.



Think how this could be even more effective with a music therapist!!!  A music therapist would be able to pair live client-preferred music to pre-writing exercises and adapt the music depending on the client's response.  In addition, the music therapist could lead instrument playing experiences that target fine motor skills.

It is clear that music is a motivator.  What a wonderful tool that all professionals, parents and teachers can utilize!
