Music therapists are highly trained, certified practitioners trained to integrate music, counselling, identification of music preferences, songwriting, drumming, singing and instrument improvisation towards the following goals: mood, communication, language, motor, socialization, emotional expression, and confidence, relaxation, and focus.
Working alone and alongside other healthcare professionals, music therapists collaborate with their patients, establish individual goals to pursue, and then design music-based interventions to meet those goals. Depending on the treatment goals and the clients’ particular needs, a session might involve creating, improvising, listening to, and/or making music.
