Music Therapy is an evidence-based practice that uses personalized music experiences to enhance overall wellbeing. It supports physical , emotional, psychological, cognitive, spiritual, and social health.
Music Therapy benefits individuals across all ages and conditions — including those in neurorehabilitation, palliative care, post-operative recovery, pre- and postnatal care, and children with different abilities. It is also valuable for anyone seeking to enhance personal wellbeing in hospital, rehabilitative, or community settings.
In Music Therapy, the choice of music is highly individualized. Each person’s musical preferences and background are carefully explored and integrated into the therapeutic process. The type of music used may vary—even when the goals are similar—ensuring that every session remains personal, meaningful, and effective. Depending on the client’s needs, any genre of music may be used, such as classical, jazz, contemporary, or rhythmic styles.
NO. Music Therapy does not require any musical training or skill. Anyone can benefit from a session — whether or not they have prior musical experience. Even those with musical backgrounds are welcome to explore music in a new, therapeutic way.
Music Therapy can be conducted with or without instruments or singing. A variety of instruments may be used, depending on the client’s needs, preferences, and therapeutic goals. From simple rhythmic tools to melodic or classical instruments, each is chosen to support expression, relaxation, and connection in a way that feels natural and comfortable to the individual.
In Music Therapy, a qualified therapist uses music-based experiences—such as listening, singing, playing instruments, movement, or songwriting—to support therapeutic goals. Through this interactive process, individuals can express emotions, regulate mood, improve communication, achieve other specific goals/objectives and enhance overall wellbeing.
Salutogenesis is a model for health that focuses on the origins of health and wellbeing rather than the causes of disease. It explores how people maintain and enhance health even when facing stress or illness. At its core is the concept of a Sense of Coherence (SOC) — the ability to view life as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful.
