Creating lasting change in the lives of people of all abilities through music.

Note-Able Music Therapy Services addresses physical, social, and mental health needs in our community by offering a range of adaptive music, music therapy, and neurologic music therapy services.

  • Music therapy is the clinical & 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.*

  • Music therapists work with people of all ages with intellectual disabilities, sensory impairments, autism, traumatic brain injuries, dementia, mental health and addiction issues, neurological disorders, and physical disabilities. Music therapists also work with hospice patients, veterans, at-risk youth, medically fragile individuals, and more.

  • Music therapists facilitate musical experiences for groups and individuals. These can include songwriting, instrument play, improvisation, singing, and dancing. While these activities may seem purely musical and recreational in nature, music therapists focus on goals such as social connection, self-confidence, communication, sensorimotor rehabilitation, speech, and relaxation. These skills can then translate into daily life.

News & Notes
July 2025 Newsletter Highlights

Hello -

July is Disability Pride Month. It was established in the US in part to commemorate the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26, 1990, and is now celebrated around the world. The month is intended to celebrate the history of the disability rights movement and the contributions of disabled activists.

This month, I encourage you to learn about disability history and activism in this country. Learn about leaders such as Judy Heumann, Stella Young, Keith Jones, and Imani Barbarin. And if you are interested in disability and performing arts, I'd encourage you to discover Patty Berne, who passed away in May. Patty was one of the founders of the San Francisco theatre company Sins Invalid, and was a longtime advocate for disability justice, solidarity, and celebrating diversity in all of its forms.

I hope that you take some time to read, watch, listen to, and learn from the people I've linked here, and use their voices as inspiration to learn more about the rich tapestry of disabilities in our world. Happy Disability Pride!

Manal Toppozada, Executive Director and Founder
