What kind of goals can Music Therapy work towards?
Goals for each young person will be tailored to their needs but in all cases, the therapist aims to provide an environment in which a relationship can develop between herself and the young person through the use of shared improvised music and sound as an interactive and communicative medium. This music reflects and communicates the young person’s inner feelings without the need for words, enabling them to express emotions in a safe environment. There is also chance to work towards goals such as: prolonging attention span, exploring interaction and supporting meaningful play with others.
