Music Therapy is the use of music as a therapeutic vehicle
for the restoration, maintenance, and improvement of
psychological, cognitive, and physiological health.
Music is a universal phenomenon that when therapeutically
applied can create a bridge between cultures, age groups,
and clients with varying mental and physical conditions.
Clients’ thoughts, feeling and memories are evoked
in the context of a client-therapist relationship, with
music used to facilitate the process. Various approaches
are used in the therapy sessions, depending on the clients’
individual needs and capacities: listening, playing
creating and discussing music. Music Therapy is a growing
field that is applicable to those who want to combine
a love of music with a desire to help others.
