What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is the clinical, evidence-based use of music by a board-certified music therapist to address motor, communication, cognitive, and social/emotional goals. Through therapeutic singing, songwriting, improvisation, instrument playing, movement to music and more, clients engage in the musical process in a supportive, creative, and predictable environment.
