Music therapy

Personal growth in a creative way

Music therapy is an interdisciplinary profession that serves as a bridge between science and art. It is about using music to achieve therapeutic goals: preserving, maintaining and improving mental and physical health. It is the systematic application of music under the guidance of the music therapist in a therapeutic environment in order to bring about desired changes in behavior. These changes allow the patient to experience a greater understanding of himself and the world outside of him and, as a result, a better adaptation to the environment.
