Music Therapy Interventions


“It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself.”

-J.S. Bach




Music therapy is goal-directed and process-oriented. It is facilitated through interventions, which are interactive therapeutic activities. Of equal importance to the music interventions themselves, is the relationship that develops between the music therapist and the client(s) in a group or individual setting.
