Music Instruction as an Aid in
Physical & Emotional Therapy
(Mi-Pet Program)

Designed for physically, emotionally, mentally or learning-challenged children and adults, this program actually teaches people with a variety of problems how to play an instrument as a means of helping to alleviate the condition. The Mi-Pet Program treats the candidate as a "student", rather than as a "patient." ♫

Under the auspices and watchful eye of the attending health care professional, Sdoia-Satz Music creates curricula, modifies instruments and develops individual teaching programs in order to enable each student to derive the greatest therapeutic benefit for his/her particular problem. ♫

While music instruction will not make a blind person see or a deaf person hear, it can help alleviate certain conditions: some forms of autism, certain kinds of palsy, and arthritis. Problems with breathing, memory loss, self-esteem, despondency, speech, aggression, attention deficit, hyperactivity, coordination and even problems in adjusting to prostheses can be diminished through the use of Mi-Pet. ♫

The Mi-Pet Program is so unique that it has been featured on television, news stories in nationally syndicated newspapers and medical journals. See Ms. Sdoia-Satz's article in Miami Medicine. For those who like music, Music Instruction as an aid in Physical and Emotional Therapy improves mental, physical and emotional health. ♫

Regardless of age, prior to being accepted as a student, each candidate must pass our comprehensive two-hour music aptitude test. Unlike other tests which evaluate accomplishment, the Sdoia-Satz Music Aptitude Test assesses raw, untrained, natural  musical aptitude. ♫
