music can help

I am almost at the end of my journey of becoming a MUSIC THERAPIST. I put this in all caps because it means so much to me, and through this process, I have come to know who I am as an artist, a musician but most profoundly, I have come to know me.

What is Music Therapy?

“Music therapy is the professional use of music and its elements as an intervention in medical, educational, and everyday environments with individuals, groups, families, or communities who seek to optimize their quality of life and improve their physical, social, communicative, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual health and wellbeing. Research, practice, education, and clinical training in music therapy are based on professional standards according to cultural, social, and political contexts” (WFMT, 2011).

Music is a health resource.
