BUFFALO, NY — Feelings Rock is a program that was created to teach children younger than 5 about feelings and how to cope with emotions through music.
Founder Katie Webster says she started the classes to bring music therapy in an accessible way to families and caregivers.
"We can get them right now, naming how they feel and understanding some techniques that they can use to manage those feelings, it's going to help them long term."
