| Music
therapy is 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. In other words, music therapy is the use of music by a trained professional to achieve therapeutic goals. Goal areas may include, but are not limited to, motor skills, social/interpersonal development, cognitive development, self-awareness, and spiritual enhancement. Music therapists are found in nearly every area of the helping professions. Some |
commonly found
practices include developmental work (communication,
motor skills, etc.) with individuals with special needs,
songwriting and listening in reminiscence/orientation
work with the elderly, processing and relaxation work,
and rhythmic entrainment for physical rehabilitation in
stroke victims. The idea of music as a healing modality dates back to the beginnings of history, and some of the earliest notable mentions in Western history are found in the writings of ancient Greek philosophers. Music therapy in its current/modern form has existed in the United States since |
around 1944,
when the first degree program in the world was founded at
Michigan State University. The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) was founded in 1998 as a merger between the National Association for Music Therapy (NAMT, founded in 1950) and the American Association for Music Therapy (AAMT, founded in 1971). Numerous other national and international organizations exist. |
