How is music therapy different from music entertainment?
While music therapy can at times seem like music entertainment because children have so much fun participating, it provides opportunities for much more. The multi-sensory approach of music therapy allows participants to engage in a therapeutic music experience at their own level of comfort. In addition, music therapy is a treatment process designed to work toward a goal, such as, improving motor functioning, expressing emotions, and increasing normalization. During music therapy, participation is more than just fun; it is progress toward goals in a treatment plan.
