What is Music Therapy?
Music Therapy is the use of music and specific music interventions to achieve non-musical goals. Music Therapy is an evidence-based practice that uses the unique modality of music to address the cognitive, physical, emotional, psychological, and behavioral needs of all individuals. Music therapists use songs, instruments and various music therapy interventions to elicit response while supporting and encouraging positive growth and change.
Our goal at Long Island Music Therapy Services, Inc., is to give our clients the best and most effective therapy experience possible. For some, music can be a more conducive environment for self-expression and communication.
