What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is an evidence-based form of healthcare that utilizes music to pursue individualized, non-musical goals (musictherapy.org). The duty of a music therapist is to address cognitive, emotional, social, and physical goals in a more accessible and creative way – through music!
