WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
Music therapists use music intentionally and purposefully to achieve therapeutic goals. Music is used to, promote and maintain physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and behavioural health. Individuals do not require musical ability but instead it’s a process of making, being affected by, and responding to music to address client-specific goals.
WHY MUSIC THERAPY FOR CHILDREN?
Music therapy sessions will be designed to the needs and interests of the individuals attending the music therapy sessions. Common goal areas could include:
- Improve verbal, language, and communication skills
- Enhance recall and memory skills
- Enhance social skills and group cohesion
- Improve fine and gross motor skills, balance, mobility, and coordination of movement
- Reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, agitation, and depression
- Increase confidence and self esteem
- Promote creative and self-expression
