March is Music Therapy Awareness Month
Submitted By: Meghan Walsh, MTA
Therapeutic Services Director
Music therapy is the skillful use of music and musical
elements by an accredited music therapist to promote, maintain, and restore mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
Music has nonverbal, creative, structural, and emotional qualities. These are used in the therapeutic relationship to facilitate contact, interaction, self-awareness, learning,
self-expression, communication, and personal development.
