Independent Contracts/Grant Programs

Music Therapy

Beth Trez was contracted by the Harrisburg City Schools last year to provide music therapy to primary elementary school students with multiple disabilities. Every other week Beth conducted music therapy with one class of students at Melrose School. This culminated in a field trip to TrezMusic at the end of the year for a large session/party. The program was such a success that Beth has been asked to come again this year and provide music therapy to three classes instead of one! Other programs like this are possible upon request and will be taylored to the needs of the contracting organization.

This past summer, Beth was given a grant to conduct a summer music program with preschool children of migrant workers in Littlestown, PA. The program consisted of four educational sessions and an evening concert/graduation. Beth taught three classes: 3-year olds, 4-year olds, and 5-year olds. Movement, singing, dancing, and rhythm/beat activities provided a fun, educational, music experience for these children. This program was such a success that a second grant is being proposed to bring Beth back for a more extended period of time next summer. Other programs like this are possible upon request and will be tailored to the needs of the contracting organization.
