Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music to address the needs of an individual or group. Music based interventions address physical, speech, social, cognitive and psychological goals and are developed and implemented by a credentialed music therapist.

​

Music therapy is an established healthcare and education profession.  Board-certified music therapists have completed an approved music therapy program and provide treatment under the practice guidelines of the American Music Therapy Association.  

​

Music therapists provide services in hospitals, schools, rehabilitation facilities, outpatient clinics, hospice programs, senior centers, individual homes, psychiatric hospitals, day treatment centers and drug and alcohol treatment programs.
