What is Music Therapy?
Music Therapy is the clinical and evidenced-based use of music interventions to reach individualized, non-musical goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. Music therapy addresses, but is not limited to, academic, fine or gross motor, speech, emotional, and social goals. Applications in a music therapy setting incude singing, instrument playing, movement to music, music and manipulatives, and music and literacy. Because music is a powerful and non-threatening medium, unique outcomes are possible. With young children, music therapy provides a unique variety of music experiences in an intentional and developmentally appropriate manner to effect changes in a child’s behavior and facilitate development of his/her communication, social/emotional, sensory-motor, and/or cognitive skills.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
