Transformative Music Therapy

Transformative Music Therapy Transformative Music Therapy is a private practice offering trauma-informed services to Winnipeg and rural Manitoba communities. What is music therapy?

Transformative Music Therapy provides services for children and youth, specializing in areas of:
* Mental Illness
* Environmental and Relational Trauma
* Attachment Challenges
* Emotional and Behavioural Challenges

TMT provides trauma-informed music therapy services, meaning we are able to:
1) recognize trauma-related symptoms (physiological, behavioural, emotional) as being born out of trauma,
2) respond skillfully throughout the therapeutic process, and
3) prevent re-traumatization that can occur through processing past traumas. TMT strives to offer services that strengthen protective factors and increases resilience to help individuals move from being "survivors" to becoming "thrivers." Music Therapy is the professional use of music and musical elements by a Certified Music Therapist (MTA) to encourage growth towards client-centered goals. Music therapy utilizes music as a tool to bring about change in non-musical domains. Through musical interventions, clients are supported and encouraged to grow towards self-actualization. Music therapists must be accredited by the Canadian Association of Music Therapists and abide by CAMT's code of ethics.

________

Hi, I am Jared! I am a graduate of Music Therapy from Canadian Mennonite University and a Music Therapist at Transformative Music Therapy. My passions include working with people from all ages, backgrounds and walks of life, as well as listening, creating and enjoying music! It is my belief that music can be an effective tool to be used to build meaningful relationships, bring healing and self-discovery as well as create meaningful and fun experiences for those who are involved. As a therapist, I value client centred care that is tailored to the needs, strengths and preferences of those I am working with.

Apart from music therapy, I enjoy many outdoor activities such as skateboarding, fishing, camping and playing my guitar by a campfire. I also enjoy spending time with my family and recently becoming a new dad.

It's that time of year again where we open up our registration for summer lessons!

Our music lessons offer a refreshing take on music education, prioritizing the enjoyment of music and the practical application of the skills that are learned. We offer lessons in voice, piano, beginner guitar and ukulele that:
* Provide a welcoming and enriching environment, supporting students' growth towards their goals,
* Use unique lesson plans, benefiting students’ learning styles,
* Encourage students to work towards their goals utilizing their strengths, and
* Invite students to incorporate their musical interests into their lessons.

Our supplimentary curriculum, Key Intuition, focuses on teaching lessons through techniques that decentralize modern staff notation as the primary method of learning, using more intuitive ways of relating to your instrument. This technique, developed by our own Jordan Chung, is based off of research within the fields of music education, linguistics and developmental learning. This program is used in combination with existing music curriculums.

A long overdue welcome to the TMT team! Jordan joined us last September as our Piano and Voice Instructor.

A word from Jordan:
Hi! My name is Jordan Chung. I am a piano and vocal teacher with many years of experience with all ages and skill levels. My favourite part about music is all the cool and amazing songs and sounds you can make! I play a variety of instruments including the guitar, ukulele, and (of course) the piano to name a few. I also enjoy creating music whether that's through writing, recording, or simply putting sounds together and turning them into songs. In my spare time, I like playing games of all kinds. Whether that's board games, card games, or video games, I am always happy to participate.

Why do we encourage kids to take music lessons? Aside from being a great skill to know, music lessons offer many great benefits that affect other areas of development and growth.

Music lessons help to build up cognitive skills that can benefit many areas of a person's life. Skills such as memory, patience, self-organization and discipline are practiced in a rewarding environment that increases internal motivation.

Music lessons also help to build emotional literacy, awareness, and regulation through the innate creativity of music. Learning an instrument builds confidence and provides a sense of joy, making this activity a great coping skill for times of stress.

If you are interested in music lessons, contact us at jessica@transformativemusictherapy.com or fill out the form in our bio!

Music Therapy is a type of Creative Arts Therapy that addresses a variety of life's challenges using music. Through different musical interventions (listening, playing, writing, etc.), music therapists guide people along a path of healing.

Music Therapy is unique as it combines scientific methods of psychology and therapy with the creative, emotional expression of music to provide space where the innate healing benefits of music are used intentionally to support the unique needs of the people we work with.
