Music Therapy
Music therapy is a therapeutic approach part of the Allied Health Workforce, that uses music and musical elements to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. Music therapists are trained professionals who use their musical expertise to help clients achieve specific therapeutic goals and enhance their overall well-being. The use of music in therapy is based on the understanding that music has the power to evoke emotions, memories, and physical responses, making it a valuable tool for communication, self-expression, and personal growth.
