What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is an evidence-based field in which a trained professional utilizes music to encourage engagement and facilitate growth. With therapeutic strategies, the music therapist helps individuals accomplish goals while addressing physical, emotional, cognitive and social gaps. This use of music in a therapeutic context helps clients expand their abilities and transfer the growth to other areas of their lives.
