What is Music Therapy?
Music Therapy is defined by the American Music Therapy Association as “the clinical and evidenced 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.” It is an established healthcare profession in which music interventions are used within a therapeutic relationship to address emotional, cognitive, physical, social, spiritual, and psychological needs, while promoting overall health and wellbeing . Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, clients' abilities are strengthened and generalized into other areas of their lives.
