Hello, my name is Thomas Bonelli and I'm a board certified music therapist. I have worked with self-direction in New York for a number of years, and am now in the process of moving to New Jersey. I hope to serve all your musical needs and aid in bringing your musical visions and dreams into reality; as well as provide soothing and relaxing musical experiences to those in need of sound healing. I provide Instrumental and songwriting lessons, production/recording assistance, sound healing, and music assisted processing of emotions through instrument playing and song lyric discussions. Each session is unique and tailored to the individual.

I have experience working with individuals in a wide range of ages in the following populations:
* Individuals with developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities
* Individuals with depression and anxiety
* Individuals with Cerebral Palsy & medical complexities
* Individuals receiving Hospice and end of life care
* Individuals receiving treatment for mental illness and chemical addiction
* Adults with dementia/Alzheimer's disease
* Early intervention/early childhood
* Individuals with visual impairments
* Individuals with physical impairments
* Individuals with learning disabilities

I utilize the following instruments for sound healing and music assisted relaxation:

* Gong

I am an experienced songwriter, performer, and sound engineer. I can assist with:
* Writing lyrics and creating song lyrics out of poetry.
* Song construction, performance, production, and recording
* Creating an online presence to showcase recordings
* Booking and performing at open mics and other live venues

I'm proficient and can offer lessons in the following instruments:
* Percussion/drumset
* Guitar/ukulele/bass guitar
* Piano

I can offer therapeutic live music playing for those that which playing an instrument is not currently available, and who still want the experience of live music listening; active engagement between player and listener while utilizing preferred music can have profound effects.

Thank you for reading, and I hope to be making music with you very soon!
