Me-lis-ma [me-liz-muh]-an ornamental phrase of several notes sung to one syllable of text, as in plainsong.
As human beings we all have the desire for self-expression. For persons with special needs, those facing physical, emotional, or psychological challenges, this desire for self-expression can become heightened. Finding a way to reach past these challenges and helping people become all that they can be, is central to treatment; music's ability to reach the inner spirit and give it expression, especially for individuals with special needs, is at the heart of what we do.
At Melisma Music Therapy Services we believe that within every person there is a healthy and creative spirit wanting to express itself. For us, music therapy is the means of tapping this creative self and giving it a voice. The result is promoting emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual health as well as improving one's quality of life.
While a melisma is a musical flourish, an opportunity for a singer to explore their voice and give their spirit expression, Melisma Music Therapy Services is the environment in which our client's flourish.
