Music Therapy (all ages)

Music Therapy is an established health profession that uses music and music experiences to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of children, youth, and adults. Music therapy is used with individuals of all ages with a variety of conditions such as mental illness, physical disabilities, sensor motor impairments, and emotional or behavioral problems to facilitate relaxation and stress reduction, to manage pain, or learn other developmental skills. A music therapy session can involve students in singing, listening, moving, playing, and in creative activities for developing life skills. Music therapists are able to meet clients at their own levels and allow them to grow.
