Music Therapy is a well-established allied health profession similar to
occupational and physical therapy. It consists of using music therapeutically to
address behavioral, social, psychological, communicative, physical, sensory-
motor, and/or cognitive functioning. Because music therapy is a powerful and
non-threatening medium, unique outcomes are possible.
Music Therapy uses music to address non-musical goals. Musicality is not the
goal of music therapy, but assists the method used to reach a therapeutic
outcome.
Music Therapy may include the use of behavioral, biomedical, developmental,
educational, humanistic, adaptive music instruction, and/or other models.
Music therapy enhances one’s quality of life, involving relationships between a
qualified music therapist and individual; between one individual and another;
between the individual and his/her family; and between the music and the
participants. These relationships are structured and adapted through the
elements of music to create a positive environment and set the occasion for
successful growth.
