Karen Hook, RMT

She specializes in teaching piano, guitar, and drums, and believes that all students, regardless of their abilities, can engage in successful musical experiences. Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals of all ages. Karen offers both private and small group sessions designed to meet the specific learning needs of the client. She works with all ages and disabilities, with a specialization in Autism Spectrum Disorders and Learning Disabilities. Potential Music Therapy applications include developing skills in areas such as cognitive development, motor development, perceptual development, social development, affective development, and sensory integration. Karen's sessions can be designed to address needs already identified by a student's Individual Education Plan (IEP) or to target specific goals requested by parents/caregivers.
