Mr Cs Music Academy - Chamblee

Adaptive music instruction provides a flexible way for individuals with disabilities to explore and participate in music. Mr. C adapts activities, instruments, pacing, communication, and participation to the student's abilities, interests, sensory needs, mobility, and comfort level.

We welcome children, teens, and adults with disabilities and differing support needs. Students do not need previous musical experience or the ability to read music.

No. Students can participate in different ways. Mr. C works to adapt instruction around each student's communication style and level of support rather than expecting every student to learn or respond in the same way.

Please tell us about any known sensory needs before the first session. Mr. C can adjust aspects of the music experience, including volume, pacing, instrument choices, and how activities are introduced.

That is one of the reasons we offer adaptive instruction. Mr. C can explore different instruments and approaches based on the student's movement, reach, coordination, and abilities. The goal is to find meaningful ways for the student to participate in music.

No. Students who aren't sure which instrument they would enjoy can begin by exploring different sounds, instruments, rhythm, and musical activities. Mr. C can use those experiences to help identify interests.

Yes. We offer both small-group and individual 45-minute Adaptive Music sessions. Group sessions are intentionally small, with approximately 2–6 students, allowing students to participate alongside peers while receiving support.

It depends on the student's needs, goals, independence, sensory preferences, and level of support. When you contact us, we'll learn a little about the student and help determine which available option may be the most appropriate starting point.

No. Mr. C's Music Academy provides adaptive music instruction and inclusive enrichment, not clinical music therapy. We do not diagnose or treat medical, behavioral, developmental, or mental health conditions.

Our fall Adaptive Music sessions are held on Saturdays at the Elaine Clark Center, 5130 Peachtree Blvd, Chamblee, GA 30341.

Small-group instruction is $240 per four-week session, and individual instruction is $320 per four-week session. We also offer a one-time $60 group trial for new students. If the student continues, the $60 trial payment is credited toward the first $240 four-week group tuition.

Our program is currently private pay and we do not bill health insurance. Families who receive outside disability-support funding are welcome to ask their funding coordinator whether adaptive music or recreational programming may qualify under their individual program. Approval depends on the funding source and provider.

Yes. New students may participate in a one-time 45-minute group trial for $60, subject to availability. If the student continues into the four-week group program, the $60 is credited toward the $240 tuition, leaving $180 due.

We encourage families to tell us about the student's musical interests, favorite instruments or sounds, communication style, mobility, sensory preferences, things that may cause frustration or discomfort, and what you hope they will experience through music.
