As humans, we use music in our everyday lives – to motivate us while we exercise, calm our nerves, express our feelings, and connect with others. This is because music affects us neurologically, physiologically, and psychosocially. While music therapists are trained to facilitate transformation through music in specific ways, music therapy principles can be carefully applied by other healthcare professionals to facilitate therapeutic outcomes. During this training, participants will learn about music therapy and how to use music to augment clinical practice, specifically with people experiencing mental illness. We will also discuss the music therapy scope of practice, and ethical and cultural considerations for using music in the therapeutic process.
