What is Rap Therapy?

Freedom to be oneself, freedom of expression, and creativity are fundamental aspects of this practice and, ultimately, of rap music itself. Authenticity is the watchword. Through rap, young people can recognize, understand, process, and share their experiences. The Rap Therapy Group serves as a tool to bridge the gap between music, oneself, and life, promoting resilience, personal growth, and the development of social skills while reducing anxiety, stress, and aggression, in favor of overall psychological and physical well-being.

  • HOW IT WORKS

    Group meetings are held weekly, lasting approximately 2 hours. Through rap song production, listening, and text analysis, participants can express and explore various social and personal themes in an open, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment. Additionally, individual skills can be enhanced through Vocal Coaching lessons. At the end of the course, those interested will have the opportunity to record their own song.
