Lullabies to Brainwaves : Understanding the Role of Music Therapy in Children's Social and Behavioral Development

Join us for an upcoming webinar with Riya, an Anthropology student from University of California, Los Angeles, whose work explores how music and sound are used within music therapy spaces. Through her journey, she brings together research and real-world observation to understand how music therapy supports children not just through sound itself, but through everything that surrounds it.

This webinar explores how sound, music, and cultural practices come together to support the wellbeing of differently-abled children. Bridging ancient Indian traditions like raga chikitsa and mantra chanting with contemporary therapeutic practices, this session reveals how music functions as both a healing tool and a medium for communication, emotional regulation, and social connection.

Drawing from real-life insights of therapists, parents, and practitioners, the webinar uncovers how music therapy centers are transforming lives through structured sound practices, rhythmic engagement, and culturally rooted approaches. From Carnatic music and bhajans to sound bowls and lullabies, discover how sound becomes a pathway to reduce anxiety, improve focus, enhance communication, and build a sense of purpose in children.

This session is designed for parents, therapists, educators, and wellness professionals who are seeking evidence-informed, culturally relevant approaches to holistic child development. Learn how music goes beyond sound—becoming a bridge between therapy, culture, and human connection.
