WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
Music Therapy is the process of addressing individualized, non-musical goals through music and the therapeutic relationship.
Music therapy can address the physical, mental, and emotional areas of life. Music is meaningful, engaging, and motivating at any age.
The relationship and human connection fostered during a music therapy session is the foundation for the therapeutic process.
