For almost 20 years Maya's Music Therapy Fund has combined the power of music with the dedication and skills of a talented music therapist, Titia Martin-Nagel, MT-BC. And our clients reap the benefits. Collaborating with agencies that serve clients from Alameda and Contra Costa Counties in Northern California, Maya’s Music Therapy Fund works with people with disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, brain injury, hearing and vision impairment, ADHD and other developmental disabilities.

Our music therapist works toward specific, individualized, non-musical goals including improved communication skills, decreased inappropriate behavior, enhanced academic and motor skills, increased attention span, strengthened social and leisure skills, pain management and stress reduction.

Experiencing the unique power of music to engage our brains and our bodies, clients gain physical and social skills while building self-esteem and confidence during individual and group music therapy sessions.

Whether you are an expert on music therapy or a newcomer to its uses and goals, we hope you'll find useful information on this website. Thank you for your interest -- and for your support of Maya's Music Therapy Fund.
