Sensory-friendly music therapy and adaptive music lessons
SENSORY SUPPORT. MUSICAL JOY.
Calming Connections is Accelerando Music’s new inclusive music therapy and adaptive lesson program, designed for neurodivergent, autistic, and sensory-sensitive learners. Led by Board-Certified Music Therapist Faith Hubbard, MT-BC, these sessions create a nurturing, structured environment where every child can connect, grow, and express themselves through music.
All sessions use live, hands-on music — singing, rhythm, drumming, movement, and gentle improvisation — to support emotional regulation, communication, and confidence. Whether your child benefits from a small group setting or individualized attention, each class is tailored to meet their unique sensory and developmental needs.
Classes are offered weekly at our Alexandria location, The Barn.
YES! We do offer free trials, sibling discounts and prorated tuition!

Small-group classes are designed to promote social interaction, sensory regulation, and musical exploration in a safe and predictable setting. Children explore rhythm instruments, movement, and live music at a pace that feels comfortable.
Group sessions include structured songs, movement breaks, and relaxation through sound — helping students connect with others while enjoying the power of music together.
Extra time (15 min) is provided after class for students to remain and explore the instruments independently or socialize.
Private Adaptive Lessons (30 Minutes)
Individualized sessions that meet your child where they are. All ages.
Private lessons blend music therapy techniques with skill-based instruction to help students explore music and instruments in a one-on-one setting. Each session is adapted for sensory comfort, focus level, and personal goals — whether that means learning songs, improving fine motor control, or simply finding joy in sound.
