What is music therapy?

 Music therapy is:

  •  the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to work towards individualized goals. Music therapists are trained and certified to use the qualities of music as tools within a therapeutic relationship. 
  • The goals addressed are often not related to music - they can be physical goals, emotional goals, cognitive, social... the list goes on!


The amazing thing about music therapy is that NO prior musical experience or knowledge is needed! Participants are free to engage however they are most comfortable, and music therapy sessions are structured with YOUR individual interests, strengths, and culture in mind. Music therapy with a licensed professional promotes all areas of health and wellness for all ages!

Music therapy experiences range from clinical improvisation, adaptive and therapeutic music lessons, song and lyric analysis, songwriting/recording, family/child bonding songs, combining visual art with music, making playlists, and more.
