According to the American Music Therapy Association, music therapy is defined as "the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program." 

​

Music therapy is client-centered, utilizing the iso-principle to meet a client where they are to serve them in the most efficacious and person-centered way. All ages are served by music therapy, but it will look different based on the uniqueness of the client -- age, strengths, needs, music preferences, and more. 

​

Music therapy can, and does, address similar goals to other healthcare professionals in a way that emphasizes music as a central part of treatment -- the client, the therapist, and the music work in tandem to reach individualized goals. This could look like using singing or piano playing to re-train speech or fine motor movement after a brain injury. This could also look like songwriting or lyric analysis to reinforce counseling concepts for healing from depression, anxiety, and more.
