Music Plus – Therapy Services of Colorado

Music Plus strives to provide the most accessible, efficacious, and innovative music and movement services for the attainment of holistic, meaningful, personalized goals.

Why did we create Music Plus?

We believe everyone has something to say, and music makes those messages heard. Whether it’s what’s said through movement and dance, by borrowing a songwriter’s words, or by a memory triggered by a familiar tune - music leaves no one out and tells no one their song is not worth singing.

What is our philosophy of music therapy?

Success comes through commitment to do challenging things. By our language, we play. But we play with purpose, with intention and with research-backed direction.
