About Rhythmic Minds
Rhythmic Minds is a private Neurologic Music Therapy and violin teaching business in San Diego, CA, enabling people of all ages and backgrounds to access music therapy services and private music instruction. Neurologic Music Therapy is the therapeutic use of research-based music interventions to address nonmusical goals. 
Rhythmic Minds provides Neurologic Music Therapy services, Suzuki violin lessons, adaptive music lessons, and early childhood music classes to those that benefit. Rhythmic Minds also provides live entertainment with solo violin performances or through Lexington Field, an Irish American Folk Punk Band. We strive to educate the public about the benefits of Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) and Suzuki training. Research shows that music, specifically rhythm influences physical, physiological, motor, communication, cognitive, emotional, and social patterns that change brain and behavior functioning.
