Programs: Music Therapy
What is music therapy?
Music therapy is the skillful and systematic use of music and all of its facets - emotional, mental, social, physical, cognitive, and spiritual - by an accredited music therapist to assist individuals from all walks of life in promoting, maintaining, and restoring health.
What do music therapists do?
Music therapists are trained to assess each individual's emotional, cognitive, mental, physical, social, and communication abilities through music. Music therapy sessions are therefore designed to meet the needs of each individual in individual or group settings.
What happens in a music therapy session?
Music therapists will assess each individual's emotional, cognitive, mental, physical, social, and communication abilities through music. Music therapy sessions are then designed to meet the needs of each individual in individual or group settings. Music therapy session content varies depending on the needs of the individual or group. Interventions may include improvising on instruments or singing, receptive music listening, song writing, lyric analysis, music and imagery, and moving to music.
