What is Music Therapy?

​Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.

What does a  Music Therapy session look like?

​The intervention methods employed in music therapy can be roughly divided into active and receptive techniques. When a person is making music, whether by singing, chanting, playing musical instruments, composing, or improvising music, that person is using active techniques. Receptive techniques, on the other hand, involve listening to and responding to music, such as through dance or the analysis of lyrics. Active and receptive techniques are often combined during treatment, and both are used as starting points for the discussion of feelings, values, and goals.
Music therapy can be conducted with individuals or in groups, and the music may be chosen by the therapist or by the person in therapy. A music therapist will generally ensure the type and mode of the chosen form of music, as well as the timing of the music intervention, are appropriate for meeting the needs and goals of the individual in therapy.

Who can benefit from Music Therapy?

Music has the power to stimulate the senses. This stimulation can be exceptionally effective for helping with children's developmental skills. The joy and vitality that typically come with listening to music can spur greater learning success in children. This can be especially beneficial for kids experiencing cognitive delays. Whether a therapist uses upbeat music to increase motivation or sedate music to calm, this form of therapy can have a profound impact on children with delays or developmental disabilities.
