Music therapy

Music therapy is a type of therapy that uses music to help people feel better. Music therapists help people who are struggling with emotional, physical, mental, or social problems. They work with people who have disabilities, anxiety, depression, or even people who want to learn a new skill, like playing an instrument. Music therapy uses different activities, like playing instruments, singing, discussing, and listening to music, to help people express their feelings, learn new skills, and relax. Music therapists create individualized plans that focus on the needs of their patient.
