Music Therapy is an established clinical intervention which uses music, musical interactions and play to support a child or young person’s psychological, physical, emotional, communication, social and cognitive needs.

Music Therapy helps children and young people to overcome difficulties and develop valuable life skills, enabling them to reach their full potential.

Because Music Therapy uses the universal language of music as a primary means of communication, it is accessible to children and young people from diverse cultures, irrespective of the language they speak.
