Music Therapists case study

What does a Music Therapist do?

Music Therapists draw upon the innate qualities of music to support people of all ages and abilities and at all stages of life; from helping new born babies develop healthy bonds with their parents, to offering vital, sensitive and compassionate palliative care at the end of life. Central to how Music Therapy works is the therapeutic relationship that is established and developed between a therapist and client. A wide range of musical styles and instruments can be used, and the music is often improvised. Using music in this way enables clients to create their own unique musical language in which to explore and connect with the world and express themselves.
