Music Therapist
Music therapists provide therapeutic programs through the
planned and controlled use of music to help people of all ages
including those with special needs because of social,
emotional, psychiatric, physical or intellectual impairments.
Music therapists may perform the following tasks:
- assess individuals and groups to identify abilities and
needs
- develop objectives that address individual needs
- plan and carry out specific music activities to address
the client's needs and concerns, such as singing, moving to
music, reflective music listening, playing music, music and
drama, improvisation, song writing and other creative
activities
- assess, monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the
musical and therapeutic interactions.
Music therapists require a large repertoire of popular
songs relevant to all age groups, and the ability to explore,
interpret and develop the creative use of sound. Music
therapists work with children and adults in individual and
group settings.
