Music therapy is based on the understanding that the ability to respond to music is an inborn quality in all human beings. This ability usually remains unimpaired by impairments, injury, or illness and is not dependent on musical training. In music therapy, we work to achieve therapeutic aims by developing a musical relationship where emotions and thoughts can be expressed. Music is used as a tool to develop individuality, communication and social skills, a sense of confidence, motivation, and self-expression, as well as to enhance well-being and quality of life for people of all ages with a range of needs and challenges.
