MUSIC, HEALTH & WELLNESS

What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is an allied health profession where the music therapist uses musical experiences and activities therapeutically to address physical, psychological, cognitive and/or social functioning. It is a process of intervention where musical experiences foster a therapist-client relationship that can provide support, healing, and empowerment. Because music is a powerful and non-invasive medium, unique outcomes are possible which can benefit clients, family members, and support staff.
