I played violin from age 7 through undergrad college. I remember the days of playing with fellow string players fondly. What instrument did you play as a child? Might be worth exploring again- through an adult’s eyes…

Our Story

Melinda's Music, based in Orange County, NY, has been in existence since 1996 specializing in treating and educating people about Neurological Challenges and how Music can be a vital part of enriching, offering emotional expression and healing of one’s life (including Stroke, Tramatic Brain Injury, Dementia and more). Facilitated by NYU Master’s Degree in Music Therapy graduate, Certified Music Therapist, and NYS Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) Melinda Marks Burgard, has created opportunities for Music Therapy Programming throughout the entire tristate area. Melinda’s Music currently offers the following programs:

1 hour Workshops: Music Therapy: Utilizing Therapeutic Music as a Tool in Dementia Care

FREE Music Social Programs for Family Members with their Loved Ones who are living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Current locations: Warwick, Middletown and Monticello, NY Call the Alzheimer’s Association for info: 1.800.272.3900

School year monthly Early Childhood Programs for Residents of Greenwood Lake Public Library as well as Albert Wisner Public Library. Call each individual library for more information.

In the fall of 1988, I began my education at NYU-- and today, I am anxious to share vital information that can help so many - without the side effect of medications. My experiences as an Entrepreneural Music Therapist included learning how to fund raise, market and create brand new Music Therapy programs in places where no one had ever heard of Music Therapy. I am proud to be a Champion and Pioneer of Music Therapy programs in Orange County, NY. In 2018, I became an award winning Music Therapy Consultant, as the Hudson Valley Alzheimer’s Association recognized my accomplishments and presented me with an award for my over 10 years of offering FREE Music Social programs throughout the entire Hudson Valley.

At this point in my career, I want to share my vast knowledge by offering all kinds of workshops to invite everyone to learn about the therapeutic qualities of Music (as well as other creative arts)- to help themselves and others. Private consultations are also available.
