Courtney is fabulous! She has given our daughter confidence in her music capabilities and she is always encouraging and positive. Courtney is professional and knowledgeable in her teaching and working with her is not only improving my daughter’s ability to learn music but she is growing in self confidence and understanding of her musical capabilities. Having the consistency of Courtney’s leadership is benefiting our daughter in enormous ways.
I just wanted to send a thank you to you and your team for being so patient and accommodating with (my child). We don’t venture out to too many programs because with her oral sensory seeking and impulsivity, there’s not a lot of options for us unfortunately. I always feel so stressed entering new situations with her because of these things, as well as not everyone we’ve come across in our journey has perceived her the way you have. It brought tears to our eyes to hear today that she made two friends in class.
We know Miss Mary is newer to your team but she has been nothing short of amazing with (my son). She's had tremendous impact on him that goes beyond just their time together. Recently, she's paid special attention to his likes/interests and is incorporating it in their music sessions. Our family really appreciates how far Miss Mary goes to connect with him. She's intentional, patient, gentle and even gives in to his silliness at times. I don't know how of her day is spent searching for and learning (my son's) favorite songs but it certainly warms our hearts. As music therapists, I'm sure much of the weight of your work goes unacknowledged so I wanted to make sure you know just how thankful we are to have found Beyond Words and are made aware of how much progress has been made in our home in just a short period of time.
I want to tell you how much I appreciate this studio and what you do for kids. It really is a blessing to so many families! It has been a great resource for (my son) so that he can go to school and church and participate in his community with others. Thank you so much for all you have done to teach him about music and his voice.
Music and singing and dancing and jumping and spinning! Anyone that has met (my daughter) knows these are some of her most favorite things! And how awesome that the things she loves can be used as a therapy tool - to help her with skills like self regulation, following directions, fine and gross motor skills, socialization, and even safety. Beyond Words offers amazing music and dance therapies and we couldn't be happier with (my daughter’s) wonderful progress and overall joy during her sessions. She adores Ms. Erin and can't wait to see her (3 times!!) each week!
My experience with Beyond Words is because they are contracted to provide group Dance and Music classes at Boundless. Boundless is the day program that Ivar attends. I can not say enough good things about the experience! They are fun, engaging and so skilled at including EVERYONE. Sometimes even in an environment with different abilities, more severe disabilities can be left out. Not with Beyond Words.
Beyond Words has allowed my kids to experience enormous developmental gains. In addition to learning songs and instruments, they have learned transitioning, sharing, turn taking and following instruction. I highly recommend Beyond Words!!
Caroline's love of dance has not only caused the emergence of her affinity to perform on stage but has increased her ability to follow directions, especially when others are around. Plus, dance provides an opportunity to work on skills in a more natural environment.
My daughter started piano lessons few months ago and LOVES it! Her teacher is so pleasant and dedicated. As for Erin (director), she is great. I love that she emails me back within an hour when I have a question. She will also personally call you when you sign your child up and speak to you about your interests, times that work for you and if any concerns. They make every child feel special. We LOVE Beyond Words Center.
I am grateful for Beyond Words for there efforts in providing my boys with music therapy. We have tons of therapists for different reasons and I have seen some of the best results from our dealings with Beyond Words. Thank you for providing this service to our community.
Thank you for all your hard work, and giving them the chance to shine! Beyond Words and their instructors are amazing, and we love being a part of something so special. We are still smiling from a great performance yesterday! Thank you!!
Beyond Words has been a part of our life for over 2 years now. As a parent, it have been a joy and a blessing to have a place to allow her to participate in dance in an environment where she is understood, loved and most importantly, allowed to thrive! She is also able to work on her OT goals during music therapy, while expanding her knowledge and love for music. We are so thankful to have Beyond Words, and their teachers and therapists to help our daughter grown and develop to her fullest potential!
