Role

What is a music therapist?

Music is used creatively to help service users to address social, emotional or physical difficulties

For example, you could be working alongside individuals with brain injuries, Alzheimer’s, mother’s in labour, children who have experienced emotional trauma, those affected by substance abuse and chronic pain.

Music therapy is used to facilitate service users to communicate via a shared musical experience and music making. Music therapists support service users and instil positive changes in their behaviour, communication and wellbeing.
