THE CLEVELAND MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT

Established in 1966, the music settlement's center for music therapy has been a pioneer in helping people with disabilities and/or medical issues. The mission of the center is to creatively use music as a therapeutic tool for meeting the challenges and needs and promoting the well-being of those in our communities. The center employs board-certified music therapists (mt-bc's) who conduct individual or group music therapy sessions at our university circle and ohio city campuses and at numerous educational, medical, and social service agencies in the cleveland metropolitan area. Our mt-bc's systematically and prescriptively use music-based interventions to positively impact the lives of children and adults facing a wide range of life's challenges. The program description continues on schedule o. In fy24 we served 1,574 individuals with a variety of diagnoses and needs at our two campuses and with 10 organizations at 22 locations.
