I certainly think that every institution should have its music therapy and its music therapists.
Music therapy is an established health service similar to occupational therapy and physical therapy.
Because music therapy is a powerful and non-invasive medium, unique outcomes are possible. In addition to its applications with hospital patients, music therapy is used successfully with persons of all ages and disabilities. Its mission is to advance public awareness of the benefits of music therapy and increase access to quality music therapy services. AMTA establishes criteria for the education and clinical training of music therapists. Members of AMTA adhere to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice in their delivery of music therapy services.
