What do Music Therapists do?

Music therapists assess emotional well-being, physical health, social functioning, communication abilities, and cognitive skills through musical responses.

They design music sessions for individuals and groups based on client needs using music improvisation, receptive music listening, song writing, lyric discussion, music, imagery, music performance and learning through music.  They also participate in cross-treatment planning, ongoing evaluation and follow up.
