In music, an arpeggio is a chord that is made up of three notes played in succession to create a beautiful sound.

 

Arpeggio Music Therapy was founded in 2008 by Elizabeth Eldridge, a Certified Music Therapist based in St. George, a rural town in southern New Brunswick, Canada.  Today, Arpeggio is the province's largest music therapy service provider, delivering quality clinical care to private clients and within facilities throughout NB.

 

Arpeggio serves clients across the lifespan, from infancy through end-of-life care.  Music therapy, as carried out by a qualified professional, can be highly effective for treating those living with...

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder and other special needs

  • Neurological challenges, e.g. stroke, ABI
  • Mental health problems and mental illness

  • Speech/language impairments 

  • Physical health issues, both acute and chronic
