Music therapy is defined by the American Music Therapy Association as the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. Let’s further explain each part of this definition:
Music therapy interventions can be designed to address numerous goals across all different areas of wellness. Both healthy individuals and those with active needs or health concerns alike can better from music therapy. Many compelling studies have proven the benefits of music as therapy to improve physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs.
As music therapists in the Kansas City Metro, we strive to build partnerships and connections with individuals and organizations in order to advocate for music therapy and spread knowledge of the benefits of music therapy to members of our community. Our vision is to see more music therapists employed throughout the KC metro, more partnerships built for music therapy referrals, and more opportunities for the public to have access to music therapy services.
