Music therapy is different from other therapies because music connects almost every area of the brain. This means life skills learned in music therapy are achieved faster and are maintained outside the session.
Rhythm, melody, and repetition have a profound impact on attention and mood. Music therapists increase resilience by facilitating interventions to label feelings, work through frustration, and regulate emotions.
Combined with board-certified music therapists' training, music interventions allow participants to feel at-ease and emotionally regulated, which is the best opportunity to practice and build on life skills.
