What is Music Therapy?

The Australian Music Therapy Association defines Music Therapy as:


"A research-based allied health profession in which music is used to actively support people as they aim to improve their health, functioning and well-being. It can help people of all ages to manage their physical and mental health and enhance their quality of life."

​

You don’t need to be musical to take part in or benefit from music therapy. Registered Music Therapists plan and provide musical therapy sessions which engage a range of musical activities and interventions for their clients with each session tailored to the needs and goals of the client.
