Who do music therapists work with?

Food for thought as we go into the weekend. However, as discussed at my music therapy conference last weekend - you exercise proactively for your physical health. You can use music therapy proactively as well! You don't HAVE to have a problem to use music therapy, either! You can use it for prevent anxiety and depression and reduce stress, for example!

Stay "tuned", looking forward to posting a couple of videos next week for the 2nd week of March's Music Therapy Awareness Month! Don't forget to share! :) !

Yes, anyone can listen to music, but for it to be music therapy, it has to be with a certified (accredited) music therapist (MTA) who has completed a minimum of a Bachelor of Music Therapy, a 1000-hour internship, a music therapy exam or accreditation file, and other qualifications! 🎶🤝👩‍🏫🎓

The Canadian Association of Music Therapists (CAMT) defines music therapy as: "... a discipline in which Certified Music Therapists (MTAs) use music purposefully within therapeutic relationships to support development, health, and well-being. Music therapists use music safely and ethically to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains." (2020).

The CAMT is the national body that music therapists are certified with. They need to be in good standing with them. There is also the MTAO (Music Therapy Association of Ontario) at the provincial level. They are optional, but they do amazing things to support music therapists!

Who is your favourite black artist/singer? Music therapists have such a wide repertoire, I like different songs from several different ones! What a Wonderful World, Isn't she Lovely, Stand By Me, Black or White, Johnny B Goode and others!

Myth: I need to know how to sing or play an instrument to be in music therapy.

Fact: You do not! We find simple ways for you to actively engage in music making with us! Music therapy is not always about sounding great. It's about feeling heard and seen.

Stuff is going around again! Just a reminder that as creative as this music mask is, I'd rather not wear it! I see on average 15 different people a week in different locations - schools, group homes, private homes. I would rather you cancel one session with me because of illness and we can even reschedule if you'd like, rather than me feeling under the weather and cancelling multiple sessions or spreading something to others! Thank you for your understanding! ☺️🤝🎶👩‍⚕️🤧
