music therapy
Music therapy has been proven invaluable when opening doors to communication, supporting creativity and expression, and enhancing quality of life. Accredited music therapists use music in a variety of forms (groups and individuals) with diverse therapeutic interventions.
Music Therapy Interventions are the planned, goal focused activities that happen throughout a session. They include but are not limited to: music improvisation (using a variety of instruments) , music based counselling, vocalizations to music, movement to music, songwriting and relaxation.
The therapist monitors each individual response to the rhythms, timbres, melody and dynamics. These responses in combination with the therapists program facilitation directs the client to their desired goals and objectives:
- increase verbal and musical communication
- develop active and long-standing participation
- boost mood and decrease anxiety
- improve social and expressive skills as well as independence
- enhance mobility
Specific programs are developed for individuals coping with brain injury, mental health issues, learning challenges, dementia, palliative care, long-term care as well as youth at risk based on the latest evidence based research.
