Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
Oso Musical provides free, once-weekly music classes for children in the Waco area who have special needs. Their participants range from kindergarten to 12th grade and have a variety of special needs and abilities. Research has shown that children of all ability levels benefit from making music. Being immersed in a music enrichment class is a joyful and transformational experience, especially for children with special needs.
Their music classes are not music therapy services; instead, they provide a music education based on the Orff Schulwerk philosophy. They use traditional or original poems, rhymes, games, songs, and dances as basic musical building blocks. Spoken or sung, they are then accompanied by body rhythm or instruments such as drums, sticks, bells, Orff instruments, boomwhackers, and more.
Oso Musical is involved in the forefront of music research and works to spread the joy of our program with others. They believe children with special needs are amazing and can't wait to share their successes.
