Basically, music therapy is the use of music to gain physical and emotional healing and wellness. A trained and certified music therapist, dance/movement therapist, or creative ‘arts expressive’ therapist can provide music therapy. Therapy sessions can involve listening to music, music-making, or both.

In fact research is beginning to reveal how music works to heal the body and mind. The rhythm and tone of music can excite you or relax you. Music therapy can help reduce your heart rate and blood pressure and increase your ability to think, learn, reason, and remember. Music-making is a healthy way of expressing yourself.

Music therapy helps your mental and physical health. It helps people express themselves, find new memories, and calm the body and mind through its rhythm, order, and predictability. Music therapy is sometimes combined with movement therapies, such as dance.
