Hello, my name is Thomas Bonelli and I'm a board-certified music therapist. I have worked with self-direction in New York for a number of years, and am now in the process of moving to New Jersey. I hope to serve all your musical needs and aid in bringing your musical visions and dreams into reality; as well as provide soothing and relaxing musical experiences to those in need of sound healing. I provide Instrumental and songwriting lessons, production/recording assistance, sound healing, and music-assisted processing of emotions through instrument playing and song lyric discussions. Each session is unique and tailored to the individual.

I have experience working with individuals of a wide range of ages in the following populations:

• Developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities
• Depression and anxiety
• Cerebral Palsy & Medical Complexities
• Receiving Hospice and end-of-life care
• Rceiving treatment for mental illness and chemical addiction
• Adults with dementia/Alzheimer's disease
• Early intervention/early childhood
• Visual impairments
• Physical impairments
• Learning disabilities

I can offer therapeutic live music playing for those that which playing an instrument is not currently available, and who still want the experience of live music listening; active engagement between player and listener while utilizing preferred music can have profound effects.
