Children & Families
In-person music therapy and therapeutic music lessons in Findlay, Toledo, and Northwest Ohio, and virtually across the United States.
Providing music to support family connection.
Every family member deserves support that honors who they are.
We all connect, communicate, learn, and grow in our own unique ways.
Sometimes a child just needs the right environment to help their confidence, creativity, communication, and personality shine a little brighter.
Through music, we create opportunities for connection, self-expression, skill building, joyful moments, and those “wait… did they really just do that?!” moments families love getting to witness.
Meaningful moments start to grow.
One day your child grabs the instrument instead of hiding behind you. Or they sing louder, try something new, make eye contact, laugh, initiate, or surprise everyone with a moment you know would not have happened a few months ago.
Those moments are amazing to witness both in session and at home.
Over time, families often notice more confidence, expression, participation, connection, and little wins that slowly start turning into bigger ones.
Why us?
At Heartstring Melodies, we don’t expect every child to sit still, answer questions, or explain their feelings out loud. We use music to create a way in that is natural, playful, and supportive.
Sessions are adapted to your child’s needs, interests, communication style, and energy level.
Our licensed, board certified music therapists help children build confidence, expression, focus, connection, and regulation through experiences that feel engaging, not forced.
Who this type of therapy is for:
◆ Children building confidence, communication, creativity, connection, and everyday life skills through music.
◆ Participants who benefit from personalized support with focus, emotional expression, social interaction, sensory experiences, and developmental growth.
◆ Families looking for meaningful, engaging experiences that encourage participation, self expression, and connection together.
◆ Children looking to learn a new instrument or musical skill in a supportive, enriching environment.
◆ Community care settings, group homes, and more looking to bring music therapy to their participants.
Music therapy for children and families uses music experiences like singing, instrument play, movement, songwriting, rhythm, and listening to support real developmental and emotional goals.
Therapeutic music lessons may also be used when a child wants to learn an instrument but needs a more flexible and supportive approach.
