About Expressive Arts

HAROLD & JOAN FEINBLOOM FAMILY EXPRESSIVE ARTS PROGRAM: Wellness Through Creativity

This program receives generous support from the B. Thomas Golisano Foundation and others.

For more than 45 years, the Expressive Arts Department has served the Rochester community through our music, art, and dance movement programs. At Hochstein, we believe the arts should be accessible to all, and all are truly welcome here. Our students are the heart and soul of our program, and they play a huge role in helping us design new and innovative offerings for our community.

Expressive Arts is a safe and inclusive place, where students can come to express themselves through individualized music, art, and dance therapy, adaptive lessons, and/or wellness sessions. Diversity is vitally important to who we are, and we welcome students of all ages, abilities, identities, and backgrounds into our Expressive Arts program.  

Our highly individualized music, art, and dance sessions are appropriate for those interested in addressing personal goals and/or enriching and promoting overall wellness in their lives through their involvement in therapeutic arts.

We believe in a strengths-based, client-centered, whole-person approach to learning, and our sessions address goal areas that directly align with the student’s desired outcome(s). These goal areas can include, but are certainly not limited to:

  • relieving stress and anxiety
  • strengthening cognitive/communication skills
  • increasing memory retention and recall
  • enhancing emotional expression
  • promoting physical rehabilitation
  • supporting social emotional development
  • promoting overall wellness
