Music Therapy

Music Therapy is led by the goals and preferences of the client and may include playing instruments, singing, moving to music, listening to music, writing music, and more. No prior music lessons or experience are necessary to benefit from Music Therapy.

Music Therapy uses music to work toward functional, individual goals. Those goals might include:

communication
motor skills
cognitive skills
sensory processing/integration
emotional expression
self-regulation, etc.

A music therapist, certified by the Certification Board for Music Therapists (www.cbmt.org):

Assesses the client's strengths and needs
Creates goals with the client
Designs music experiences to help the client achieve goals
Documents progress toward the goals.

The music experiences are designed based on a scientific understanding of how the brain and body are affected by music.

Music Therapy is well grounded in scientific research. The following websites provide a good starting point for learning more about that research:
