What is music therapy? “Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.” - The American Music Therapy Association (www.musictherapy.org)
Why is music therapy effective? Music is processed in both hemispheres of the brain, which means that music can reach each specific area of functioning, like speech/language, motor, and social/emotional skills. The elements of music are so multifaceted, that music is motivating and energizing, but also calming and organizing. Music can be an effective approach to almost any area of functioning because people engage with and entrain to music.
What does music therapy look like? At the MIC, we use music to achieve social, emotional, cognitive, communicative, motor, behavioral, and mental wellness goals. Music therapy involves musical experiences, both passive and interactive active, both instrumental and vocal, all designed by one of our board-certified music therapists. After assessing a client’s specific needs, our music therapist plans and implements specific music therapy interventions to reach personalized non-musical goals.
