Question

I heard they are called Music Therapists..I need one on the NW side of Chicago..any help out there?

Answer 1

Start out by going to all of the music shops in your area and explain what you need. Music is THE BEST THERAPY. My ex had a child that was adhd and epileptic, he got into guitar and it really helped to calm him down alot, thus slowing down his siesures.

I would hinestly recomend that you go into EVERY guitar shop you can find, believe it or not there are some great musicians hanging out in there, most of whom can play/teach more than just guitar. Many of them are classically trained in college and just teach guitar as a side job for some extra cash.
