Music Therapy
Music Therapy
Building trust through musical relationship is the cornerstone for our therapy sessions. Common goals addressed in session include finding your voice through self-expression, increasing emotional identification and regulation, improving fine and gross motor skills, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, increasing artistic expression, strengthening social skills, and developing communication skills. Virtual music therapy services with R&R are appropriate for ages 6 through adult, including but not limited to individuals with autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), dyslexia, speech and language disorders, developmental disabilities, medical stress or fatigue, and those who are processing trauma. The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA), defines music therapy as “The clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program." Board-certified music therapy services at Resilience & Reverb are provided by Rebecca McBride, M.M., MT-BC.
Voice Lessons
Performance and Music Education Focused Voice Lessons
Performance and music ed. focused voice lessons at Resilience & Reverb start with an assessment of your singing background, strengths and needs, personal music preferences and goals. These lessons are designed for individuals seeking to develop their singing voice, musical skills, and performance abilities. Common goals include building healthy vocal technique, increasing vocal expression, expanding musical knowledge, polishing performance material, and preparing for auditions. Areas of improvement may include body awareness, breath support, tension-free singing, sight-singing, ear training, music literacy, and musicality. Techniques are applied to each student’s preferred musical genres and performance interests. Rebecca McBride brings more than 30 years of performance experience and 23 years of teaching experience across choral, operatic, rock, contemporary Christian, musical theatre, blues, pop, country singing styles and more. Recommendations: ∙Voice lessons at R & R are best for ages 9 and older, with occasional exceptions. ∙30-minute lessons are typically recommended for ages 9–12 and for teens seeking musical enrichment as their primary goal. ∙45-minute lessons are recommended for ages 13 and older, younger students who need significant tension-release work, and all individuals preparing multiple pieces for auditions, performances, or musical theatre roles. ∙Please note: With virtual lessons, headphones or earbuds are recommended, and an external microphone is helpful as well, but neither are required.
Functional Voice and Breath Lessons
Do you feel like you need to find your voice? Functional Voice & Breath Lessons are designed for teens and adults whose goals center on improving everyday voice use and expression rather than performance. These 45-minute lessons may benefit individuals experiencing vocal tension/pain, difficulty accessing their natural voice, breath support challenges, vocal fatigue, trauma or stress-related voice patterns, or a desire to increase vocal confidence. Drawing from classical vocal pedagogy, music therapy principles, body awareness practices, and years of experience guiding singers through tension release, Rebecca McBride has developed an integrated approach focused on helping individuals find, strengthen, and support their voice. Functional voice work emphasizes healthy, tension-free sound production while increasing awareness of posture, breathing, muscle engagement, movement patterns, and the connection between physical and emotional expression. While singing may be used as a tool during sessions, the primary goal is not performance preparation. Instead, here we focus more on vocal wellness and a supported, authentic voice for everyday life. Please note: Functional Voice & Breath Lessons are educational and coaching-based services and are not speech-language pathology, psychotherapy, or medical treatment. Individuals whose primary needs involve trauma processing or therapeutic treatment goals may wish to consider our HIPAA-compliant board-certified music therapy services.
