What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is the use of music interventions to accomplish individualized, non-musical goals. Music therapists are individuals who have received a Bachelor's degree or higher in music therapy, completed a 6 month internship, and have passed their board-certification exam. Music therapists assess the strengths and needs of each client based on a screening that takes place at the beginning of treatment. In music therapy sessions, our clients work hard on their goals in a supportive environment where they are motivated by instrument play, vocalization, and musical games and activities.
