What is Music Therapy?
Embedded Files
Music therapy is a well-established, allied health profession, similar to occupational therapy and physical therapy. It consists of using music therapeutically to address physical, psychological, cognitive, behavioral and/or social functioning.
What does Music Therapy do?
The main goal of Music Therapy Sessions is to work towards goals, outside of music, that the client and their family want to reach. These goals include all domains and areas of life skills:
Gross and Fine Motor
Expressive and Receptive Communication
Cognitive
Social
Emotional
Sensory.
Why Music Therapy?
Music therapy is effective especially when music is motivating to an individual. When someone feels like they’re having fun, they don’t realize the work that they’re doing and much more progress can be made.
How does it work?
We use a variety of music-based interventions or activities that include:
Improvisation
Drumming
Song-writing
Lyric Analysis
Movement to music
And many more!
Who is it for?
Music therapy is for all ages including infants, children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric adults. Music therapy includes areas that are skilled for people with mental health needs, developmental, and learning disabilities.
