Modulations Therapies Modulations Therapies helps people change through music. We provide music therapy, music lessons, an To "modulate" is to vary the strength, tone, or pitch.

At Modulations Therapies, we offer a variety of services to educate, empower, and transform your life, family, or organization. Music Therapy is the use of music as a tool to reach non-musical goals. Our board-certified music therapist provides individual, family, and group sessions to improve speech and diction, decrease pain and anxiety, improve cognitive and academic performance, and increase self-awareness and self-esteem. Adaptive music lessons are available to teach musical concepts while improving social, motor, and cognitive skills. Modulations also offers educational services to organizations seeking innovative training in healthcare topics, mindfulness, team building, and organizational change. At Modulations Therapies, our job is to help you find your song, strengthen your voice, and transform your life.

For a teenager, music can be a place to try something new, express feelings that are hard to put into words, and create something of their own. You don’t have to arrive knowing how. We start where you are. Music therapy and lessons offer different ways to support that process, shaped around each teen’s interests, strengths, and needs.

Want to explore what that could look like for your teen? I’d love to talk. If you’d like to help make these opportunities possible for a family facing financial barriers, please consider a gift to the Music Therapy Access Fund.

Sometimes the goal is simply to keep moving forward.

Music can make movement more motivating, more purposeful, and more successful. Whether we're working on rehabilitation goals, building endurance, or simply finding a reason to take one more step.

We're helping people do the things that matter to them. Your support helps bring that to more people. www.modulationstherapies.com/donate

When we say we work with children, adults, and families of all ages and abilities, apparently we need to be a little more specific! A new family stopped by after hours last night. No appointment, refused to do any paperwork, but I’m seeing potential for synchronized movement work.

There is nothing like the moment when a kiddo realizes, “I can do this!”

Learning music looks different for everyone. I might adapt an instrument, change the way we approach a song, or find a completely different path to the same goal.

My approach is to help each student experience the joy and pride that comes from making music and discovering what they CAN do.

Your support helps make music education more accessible to those with different abilities and learning styles. modulationstherapies.com/donate

Ding, Ding, Ding! We are SO close to our goal!

I set a goal of $1,000 for the first week of the Music Therapy Access Fund launch. And we've almost made it! We are more than 80% there, with 2 days left. Help bring the magic of music therapy to the people who need it most.

I’ve been waiting a long time to share this. Today is the day! 🎶

As Modulations Therapies celebrates 10 years of change through music, I’m incredibly excited to launch our most important project yet: the Music Therapy Access Fund.

This fund, in collaboration with Ellsworth Community Music Institute - ECMI (now Field Note Music School), provides financial assistance and bridge funding for the people and programs who need it most. All donations will fund direct services to people in Hancock County, Maine.

My goal is to raise $10,000 in honor of our 10 year anniversary. Let's kick it off by raising $1,000 this week! Come see what the Music Therapy Access Fund is all about and how you can make a difference!

Do you have to be a musician to benefit from music therapy?

Not at all! Music therapy is not just for musicians, and you don’t need to consider yourself “musical” to benefit. Most of our clients are not musicians. Music is the tool used for therapy, not an outcome or performance by the client. Your music therapist is a trained musician (and trained therapist), so you don’t need to be.
