Special Needs, Autism: Music Lessons & Homeschool Classes

---

At Malena's Music & More we strive to individualize all classes and music lessons, tailored to each student's strengths, interests, and opportunities. We offer an interactive, hands-on approach to learning that challenges students while having fun. We love working with students who have challenges and/or special needs, including Autism!  We believe that everyone has the right & the ability to learn and grow, and that everyone should have an equal opportunity!

Students with varying challenges, special needs, Autism, and/or disabilities have just as much of a right to learn and grow as anyone else. They DO have the ability to learn! We will go at their individual pace during music lessons, using techniques that help each student learn best. We choose curriculum that is the best match for each student, factoring in previous knowledge, comprehension level, and learning styles.

Music Lessons online or in our Limerick,, Maine studio. 

We have years of experience working with students who have special needs, including but not limited to: 

• Autism Spectrum
