Fermata Inc. is the operating company for Fermata Music Therapy and No Bounds Music Education for Everyone. Owned and managed by Dr. Daniel Hyams, Fermata Inc. provides music therapy services for children and families, adults with mental health ad learning challenges, and on site in long term care homes, schools and hospitals.

In addition to our music services, we offer individual tutorials for students with special needs (all educational subjects) and art therapy.

Music Therapy uses the principles of live, interactive music making with people of all ages to support speech, language and communication difficulties, behavioral and emotional support, interaction, self-awareness, learning, self-expression and self-development. Music Therapy is the skillful use of music and musical elements by an accredited Music Therapist to promote, maintain and restore mental, physical and emotional health. Music has non-verbal, creative, structural and emotive qualities.

Experienced musicians and special education educators provide the No Bounds Music Education for Everyone lessons. The program provides many learning opportunities such as; reading music notes, playing by ear, understanding rhythm, tempo, dynamics, music symbols and developing technique. The student works with their instructor to develop musical skills and abilities, as well as develop social skills, developmental awareness and motor sensory skills, encouraging a “Can Do” attitude towards personal self-esteem.

Provided at our shared space at 533 Main Street East, Hamilton, Fermata provides a space for clients to use music for self-expression and development. Many community projects take place here, and volunteers and staff are from the local area. With a bespoke approach to healthcare, Fermata offers individual attention, care and expertise.
