Music Therapy

Music therapy is an evidence-based clinical practice that utilises musical interventions administered by trained practitioners who have completed accredited music therapy programs to achieve personalised goals in a therapeutic alliance. The applications of music therapy are diverse and can address a range of medical and educational objectives. The therapy can be active, involving clients in the creation of music, or passive, where clients simply listen or respond to music. Some therapists may utilise a combination of both approaches. Music therapy has been studied extensively, revealing a range of benefits. It is highly customisable, suitable for people of all ages, including very young children. Furthermore, music therapy is adaptable, offering benefits to individuals of varying musical proficiency, as well as those with mental or physical health conditions.
