What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is an established health care profession that uses improvised music and sound to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals of all ages.

Music provides an alternative mode of communication, which is often more accessible than words for some people.

Through exploring the instruments and expressing themselves creatively within improvised musical interactions, clients can develop their communication skill, explore important personal themes, and gain insight into their patterns of behavior.
