The MSAB Elementary Music & the Arts program provides students with creative, engaging opportunities to explore music, movement, and artistic expression in an accessible and supportive learning environment.
Through individualized instruction and hands-on experiences, students develop communication, creativity, confidence, and self-expression while strengthening skills that support both academic learning and the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC).
Music Therapy
Music therapy is an important part of the educational experience for many elementary students at MSAB. Through structured musical activities, students work toward Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals while developing skills that support learning and independence.
Music therapy may promote growth in:

- Communication skills
- Social interaction
- Physical and motor development
- Sensory integration
- Orientation concepts
- Independence and self-regulation
Students participate in singing, instrument exploration, movement, improvisation, and collaborative music-making using adaptations that meet their individual strengths and needs. Individual music therapy services are also available based on assessment results and IEP goals.
