Frequently Asked Questions

What is music therapy?

Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music where the therapist helps the client to promote health using music experiences and the relationships that develop through them as dynamic forces of change.

Board-Certified Music Therapists (MT-BC) are credentialed through the Certification Board of Music Therapy.

Where are sessions held?

In most cases, individual sessions are held in the client’s home.

My child doesn't play any instruments. Does that matter?

That’s okay! There is no technical musical knowledge needed for music therapy to be effective and engaging. If learning a musical instrument is the goal, check out our adaptive lessons.

What do you work on in music therapy?

As you can see above, music therapy can meet a wide variety of goals! Each client receives a music therapy assessment to explore strengths and needs, which then gets shaped into an individualized treatment plan centered on growth and development.

How is music therapy different from the therapies my child already receives?

Many clients may already be receiving ABA, speech, occupational, or physical therapy. Adding a music therapist to the treatment team can be an excellent choice if your child shows strong interest in music. While working on overall goals, music therapy can also provide a non-invasive, non-verbal outlet for expression, creative play, and relationship building. Music is naturally motivating, and supports learning, communication, attention, and healthy expression.
