Moments Music Therapy provides music-based therapeutic services for older adults in Collin and Denton Counties in North Texas. The organization serves senior living communities, individuals, and hospice patients in their place of residence, offering both group and individual care tailored to therapeutic goals. Its services use purposeful musical activities to support memory, attention, movement, communication, relaxation, emotional well-being, and social connection.

For people facing cognitive challenges, therapists may use rhythmic activities such as repeated drumming patterns to work on attention and short-term memory. Live music can be adapted to help ease agitation or anxiety, while group sessions encourage residents to connect with one another. Participants also use instruments to practice functional movements, including reaching, bending, and lifting their feet. For clients recovering language after a stroke or maintaining vocal strength with Parkinson’s disease, therapists use specific techniques. Hospice services may include creating musical legacy projects, such as writing personal songs or choosing music for a memorial service.
