Why does music therapy work?
Music therapy works essentially because of the way music stimulates the entire brain (Both left and right brain!). In additional to this stimulation, music also touches people emotionally. Music, also an art form of expression. The evidence based approach of music therapy allowed a lot of evidence, the more it supports the use of music to treat non-musical problems.
What goals does music therapy achieve?
Registered Music therapists utilises a wide variety of music based interventions to achieve a wide range of non-musical goals, based on the individual and group's needs. Goal may include
  • improving communication skills (expressive and receptive)
  • improving motor function and coordination (both fine and gross motor skills) 
  • developing and improving social skills
  • modifying behavior and addressing emotional needs and self-expression.
Will any musical skills be needed for music therapy?
We belive that all humans are intrinsically musical. Not musical skills are needed for music therapy. Many clients do not have any musical skills or abilities. You can benefit by allowing a music therapist to apply their skills and trusting your body’s natural response to music. We believe we all can benefit from music therapy.
​What is a music therapy session like?
Since Music therapists treat a wide variety of patients with a wide range of needs, strengths, abilities and goal areas, it varies according to the client. Broad goal areas include communication, motor function, social/ emotional and behavioral. Patients are assessed to determine what goals and objectives will be addressed in sessions, and each session is tailored to each individual patient.

Activities in a music therapy session can include singing, drumming, analyzing the lyrics of a song, body movements, songwriting, improvising on a variety of instruments, or even learning some basics of an instrument such as guitar or piano.
How many sessions are required?
Music therapy sessions depends on the goals and how the clients responds to the intervention. We recommend about 10 sessions at least.
