What can music therapy offer?

Music therapy is a evidence-based practice that uses music to support individuals to improve health, functioning and wellbeing.

Music-based interventions such as music improvisation, musical play, music listening and singing can be used to support individual’s cognitive functioning, as well as their mental, social, physical, spiritual and emotional wellbeing. It involves understanding the individual's needs and music preferences and working towards identified goals.

Music therapy is different from music lessons or entertainment, as it focuses on improving health and wellbeing. Musical skills or knowledge is not required for individual to receive music therapy.
