What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is different from many other therapies because it harnesses the power of non-verbal communication. It is the use of instruments, voice and sound to create live improvisation, singing, composition, playing and music-making with a view to fostering understanding, offering acceptance, facilitating development and encouraging participation. Through these therapeutic intentions, the adolescent or young person can achieve greater levels of resilience, further inform their identity, attain additional areas of competence and experience additional moments of connectedness.
What are the health benefits of music therapy?
It can have many positive outcomes including:
- encouraging creative thinking
- relaxing and escaping reality
- giving meaning to a personal experience
- increasing levels of connectedness
- offering an improved sense of hope, insight and self-worth
When adolescents experience more meaningful connections through music therapy, this can lead to endless therapeutic benefits and the chance to invoke change through creativity.
What is a music therapist?
A music therapist is an Allied Health Professional and an HCPC Registered Arts Psychotherapist who assesses individuals for clinical music interventions and designs a programme of support using specific goals and intentions. The outcomes are then evaluated to measure the effectiveness and success of the provision.
"Music functions as a window through to the internal state of the teenager that can be used to increase personal understanding."
