Music therapy is not about learning to sing or play an instrument.

In a Music Therapy session, you might:

• Listen to music
• Move to music
• Sing
• Make music with simple instruments
• Write and discuss song lyrics
• Use Guided Imagery with music

Music therapists work alongside other healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, speech therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists.

They may work with adults and children who have:

• Symptoms caused by physical illness or mental illness
• Side effects from cancer and its treatment
• A terminal illness such as cancer
