Music Therapist

The music therapist works with emotionally disturbed or traumatised individuals, using the calming and therapeutic qualities of music to help them break down barriers and communicate with others. The music therapist is usually a skilled musician, and makes available musical instruments and helps in using them. The therapy encourages improvisation and expression of inner feelings. Usually the music therapist is part of a multidisciplined team working to rehabilitate the patient, is expected to keep notes on progress made and contributes to the patients medical record. Most music therapists work in psychiatric institutions and long term care facilities.
