They say "where words fail, music speaks", which is a good way to start thinking about music therapy. Music can easily access and re-wire parts of our brain, especially if we're having fun at the same time. In music therapy, we use the properties of sound to streamline feelings, functions and health by making and strengthening new connections in your brain.

Music therapy may include playing instruments to improve co-ordination, motor skills and creativity, listening to (or writing) songs to express or process emotion and memory, or playing musical games to improve cognitive function.

You can expect to listen to some music (either recorded or live), and have an opportunity to make some music yourself if you would like to. You will also have the opportunity to play instruments you haven't tried before. The client is not expected to do any homework or practice.

All of this evidence-based practice takes place behind the cover of a fun, interactive activity.
