Building bridges through music, one note at a time.
About us
Hi! I'm so glad you’re here! Notes of Connection was created from a belief that the best way to support individuals is through meaningful connections. To create those connections, we combine the powers of math and music. Through data analysis, we identify trends in how individuals are interacting in current programming and their environment. From these trends, music-based interventions are developed using current best practices in neuroscience research to support various needs.
Music is a whole-brain stimulant, meaning it activates multiple areas of the brain at once. This supports the formation of new neural connections, provides augmented auditory feedback during learning, and enhances motivational states. All of these principles foster connections in the individual’s brain, between the individual and their peers, and between the individual and their learning journeys.
Organizations implementing structured music and music therapy programming allow all people to re-engage with their peers, strengthen their cognitive performance, and feel better overall. This isn’t about generating musicians; it's about bridging the gap between an individual's potential and performance by creating equitable access to brain-based musical supports.
What we do
-
At Notes of Connection, LLC, our mission is to nurture the development and maintain the acquired skills of every person in every life stage by blending the power of music therapy with the science of data analysis. We provide individualized music therapy services that promote cognitive, communication, motor, emotional, and social growth while partnering with organizations to use data as a tool for equity and informed decision-making. Through this integrated approach, we support meaningful connections for both the individual and the community—creating pathways for connection, inclusion, and lifelong growth.

Music is powerful. We have all had an experience where music has had a deeper meaning beyond just the notes and rhythms, changing us in some way.
Music therapy is the intentional presentation and manipulation of music to evoke neurological responses and meet client goals. We implement evidence-based practice with music as a tool for achieving communication, motor, attention, regulation, social, and emotional goals.

The Neurologic Music Therapy® (NMT ) System of Techniques is a standardized evidence-based clinical treatment system of 20 techniques that is driven by advances in applied auditory music neuroscience and the clinical understanding of music perception, production, and cognition. The NMT System targets specific functional behaviors in the areas of cognition, sensorimotor, and speech and language based on a client’s diagnostics and treatment goals. The NMT system provides structured music-based exercises that are not only relevant to NMT music therapists but exemplify how music can be integrated into intervention practices for all allied healthcare professionals, in the disciplines such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, neuropsychology, and speech-language pathology.

The use of statistics, machine learning, and qualitative analysis to better understand how people are learning, behaving, and engaging. Our work focuses on learning analytics, the meaningful and responsible use of educational data to inform instruction, identify trends, and drive equitable outcomes. By creating easy-to-understand visual reports, we translate data analysis into informed, actionable, and clear intervention strategies that enable every student to thrive.
