Music Therapy Research

Music therapy is an evidence-based treatment form that systematically uses sound-making and “musicking” (singing, playing and listening) to help people in recovery and people with special needs. Typical goals are establishing, or re-establishing, physical functioning or psychological meaning, finding hope and enhancing quality of life, or developing resources and opportunities for interaction and communication with others.
