Defining Music Therapy
There is no single definition that fully encompasses Music Therapy. I experience Music Therapy as a unique non-verbal means of communication that crosses culture and continent. Its dimensions and potential impact are vast.
'Music Therapy is an established psychological clinical intervention, delivered by HCPC registered music therapists to help people whose lives have been affected by injury, illness or disability through supporting their psychological, emotional, cognitive, physical, communicative and social needs.'
The British Association of Music Therapy (BAMT, 2025)
