WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music to achieve individualized goals and to positively influence changes in the client’s specific needs, strengths, and weaknesses. A specifically trained and credentialed (MT-BC) professional implements music therapy.
Because music therapy is a powerful and non-threatening medium, unique outcomes are possible. Music therapy is used with individuals of all ages in mental health, with physical, developmental, and learning disabilities, autism, Alzheimer's disease, brain injuries, chronic pain, cancer, AIDS, and substance abuse problems.
In music therapy, each individual is provided personalized support and encouragement in the gaining of new skills and abilities. Because music touches each person individually, participation in music therapy offers opportunities for improvisation, expression, creativity, and learning that may be significantly different from more traditional therapeutic approaches.
